It’s good to be the Queen…but it’s easier being the King.
By Adam Galinsky and Maurice Schweitzer

According to a study of diversity and innovation reported in the December 2013 issue of Harvard Business Review:

• Companies with high levels of diversity are 45 percent more likely to report growth in market share over the previous year, and 70 percent more likely to report having captured a new market.
• A team with a member who shares a client's ethnicity is 152 percent more likely than another team to understand the client.
• Leaders who give diverse voices equal airtime are nearly twice as likely as others to unleash value-driving insights, and employees encouraged to “speak up” are 3.5 times more likely to contribute their full innovative potential.
