Professor of business administration and Vernon Zimmerman Faculty Fellow Denise Lewin Loyd discusses about the importance of diversity within teams - and how research shows it's not just the right way to go, but the best way to go.
Life tends to put us in situations with people who naturally look, think, and act like we do. And while this way of operating may feel more comfortable for many, the reality is: it's not very productive or effective. In this episode of The Gies Download, host Tim Sinclair is joined by professor of business administration and Vernon Zimmerman Faculty Fellow Denise Lewin Loyd to talk about the importance of diversity within teams - and how research shows it's not just the right way to go, but the best way to go.
