Diversity is about all of us, and about us having to figure out how to walk through this world together. When we listen and celebrate what is both common and different, we become wiser, more inclusive, and better as an organization. Diversity is a fact, but inclusion is a choice we make every day. As leaders, we have to put out the message that we embrace, and not just tolerate, diversity. A democracy thrives on diversity. “Before God, we are all equally wise, and equally foolish.” rightly said by Albert Einstein. Diversity means having a seat in the restaurant and inclusion is having a voice to order for the desired food.
