Diversity and inclusion is just "common sense”? This
was one of the pieces of feedback I had received from some senior managers in a
multi-national organisation after attending diversity and inclusion workshops.
Reflecting on this feedback, the first thought it raised for me is, if D&I
is just about ‘common sense’ then why haven’t leaders in many
multinational organisations made more progress and been more transformative in
the way diversity and inclusion shows up within their
organisational cultures? My second thought is that often there is a Gap
between understanding something Intellectually so it appears easy, manageable
at least in our minds, to being able to executive it practically, particularly
back into the workplace. My third thought is that perhaps what stops diversity&inclusion being
"common sense" is our own attitudes, behaviours and beliefs?
