The Diversity Bonus Summary

The Diversity Bonus: How Great Teams Pay Off in the Knowledge Economy by Scott Page

How businesses and other organizations can improve their performance by tapping the power of differences in how people think

What if workforce diversity is more than simply the right thing to do? What if it can also improve the bottom line? It can. The Diversity Bonus shows how and why. Scott Page, a leading thinker, writer, and speaker whose ideas and advice are sought after by corporations, nonprofits, universities, and governments, makes a clear and compelling practical case for diversity and inclusion. He presents overwhelming evidence that teams that include different kinds of thinkers outperform homogenous groups on complex tasks, producing what he calls diversity bonuses. These bonuses include improved problem solving, increased innovation, and more accurate predictions-all of which lead to better results. Drawing on research in economics, psychology, computer science, and many other fields, The Diversity Bonus also tells the stories of businesses and organizations that have tapped the power of diversity to solve complex problems. The result changes the way we think about diversity at work-and far beyond.

The Diversity Bonus Reviews

If you want your business or team to perform better, read this book. With compelling evidence, examples, and writing, Scott Page makes the business case for drawing out diverse perspectives, and shows you exactly how to do it. A clear road map for every team and leader.-Laszlo Bock, former SVP of People Operations at Google and author of Work Rules!
Leaders often say that the greatest obstacle to diversifying their organizations is their commitment to `excellence' and `meritocracy.' Scott Page's important book blows that myth out of the water, powerfully demonstrating that diverse teams are better: more creative, productive, and profitable. After this, there is no excuse for making excuses.-Naomi Oreskes, coauthor of Merchants of Doubt
A powerful way to appreciate the problem with homogeneity.-Tim Harford, Financial Times
