Sinopsis:
Pie Graphs are commonly used by corporations to illustrate their diversity. Improvements in pie graph analytics have been accepted as progress by corporate standards. True Diversity challenges this conventional wisdom, exposes the inherent weaknesses of pie graphs and challenges companies to Go Beyond The Pie Graph.
To group all African Americans, Hispanics, Asians etc. into one slice of a pie graph is an insult and an undermining of the commercial power of a truly diverse organization. Consider the following individuals:
- An African American physician, born and raised in Uganda
- An African American chef, born and raised in Philly
- A Hispanic poet, born and raised in the Bronx by Puerto Rican parents
- A Cuban refugee who left his parents behind in communist Cuba
- A Chinese executive of a government run bus company
- A Vietnamese immigrant who came to America after the Vietnam War for asylum
It is possible that these individuals that would occupy the same slice of a pie graph may actually be more dissimilar than they are similar? Is it even remotely possible that the only reason that we group them in the same slice of the pie graph is to make ourselves feel better? How can we harness the power of their True Diversity that is not captured on a pie graph?
Acerca del autor:
Jesus' greatest life accomplishments are his three beautiful daughters.
Faced with an uncomfortable question from a European boss - "Who are you?".
Jesus replied by quoting a song by The Animals - "I'm just a soul whose intentions are good, Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood." Jesus paused and then asked, "is it fair to say that you don't understand me?"
Jesus is a Cuban immigrant. He is educated as a pharmacist and has earned a post-graduate business degree. He is a believer in the incredible opportunities that this country has provided minorities and immigrants.
He is devoted to helping organizations get past the procedural "pie graph mentality" and harness the real commercial power of minority recruitment and development. Named a Black Enterprise Magazine Modern Man of Excellence ®, Nathan Hale Williams is a multi-hyphenated entertainment professional, who is an award-winning filmmaker, best selling and award-winning author, entertainment attorney, and television personality. He is a two-time NAACP Image Award nominee and former columnist for Essence Magazine. A proud native of Chicago, Nathan has authored five books and lives in Los Angeles, CA.
