The "Hello Ladies" update from 1/19 reminded me of a post I wrote in 2019 exploring quotas in the context of increasing diversity, so today's TOA rewind looks back at that moment.
There are some amusing nuggets from this post:
- I mention going to Colby, which I do twice a year.
- I mention Iceland, which I do once a week.
- I make an offhand remark about settling to "match", which I might write more about - many self-described "world class" organizations don't seem interested in leading their fields as it regards building a diverse team.
TL;DR? I'd say this line sums it up - "The roundabout point here is that if organizations don't bother defining 'diversity', they risk becoming a victim of someone else's bias."
