Valuing Gender Diversity at WEF

I wanted to post something different this time so I am providing you with the link to a video about Ernst & Young and how they feel about gender diversity.
Video:
They brought up some pretty good points in the video:
- new quota that top partners should inlclude one female in their five delegates
- leads to economic growth
- have a gender gap report
- gender diversity is a positive thing
        -leads to broader discussions becuase of the different perpectives
        - teams are going to become diverse in the future
        - teams are either off the charts great or very poor
        - if a good culture is created within the team then high performance will result
By implementing this new policy the new teams will have different perpectives and opinions allowing them to consider alternatives that they hadn't before. This is going to increase the company's creativity in decision making. This will give the comapny a competive advantage over others but as Mr. James Turley mentioned diversity must be managed well in order to see great results. If diversity is not manged properly companies and teams kind find themsleves facing many challenges and no success. Some ways they can mange the diversity within their teams is to create a  team contract like we did in class. This way team members can aknowledge each others differences, learning and leadership styles, and come to a consensus about how they will move forward. Having set expectations and accountabilty is a great way to  start managing diversity within organizations!
