Building Diverse Teams That Actually Work

This is one of those topics where I’ve watched the conversation evolve significantly over the course of my career. Twenty-five years ago, “diversity” in tech largely meant making sure the team photo didn’t look entirely homogeneous. The bar was low, and most of us, myself included, didn’t think critically enough about what we were missing. The more I’ve researched this topic and reflected on my own experience leading teams of different shapes and sizes, the more I’ve come to believe that diversity isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s the thing that makes teams actually work better. But only if you pair it with genuine inclusion. Without that, it’s just optics.
