In numerous studies, diversity — both inherent (e.g., race, gender) and acquired (experience, cultural background) — is associated with business success. For example, a 2009 analysis of 506 companies found that firms with more racial or gender diversity had more sales revenue, more customers, and greater profits. A 2016 analysis of more than 20,000 firms in 91 countries found that companies with more female executives were more profitable. In a 2011 study management teams exhibiting a wider range of educational and work backgrounds produced more-innovative products. These are mere correlations, but laboratory experiments have also shown the direct effect of diversity on team performance. In a 2006 study of mock juries, for example, when black people were added to the jury, white jurors processed the case facts more carefully and deliberated more effectively.

Have you ever thought about Dunbar's Number in business? It says we can only maintain about 150 meaningful relationships. Dunbar explained the principle informally as "𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘫𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘶𝘮𝘱 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘣𝘢𝘳." Thanks to Mark McConnell Jesse Fehr and Kristie Griebenow for an insightful conversation about this and many other things earlier this week! So, what if we use this idea to roll out changes in our organizations? 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭: Start small. Instead of changing everything for everyone, why not begin with one team? 👥 By focusing on manageable groups, we: Boost communication, because small groups mean clearer, more frequent chats. Increase engagement - when everyone feels involved, they're more likely to buy in. Improve adaptability, as it's simpler to see what works (and what doesn’t) and tweak things on the go. This small start can create a ripple effect, inspiring every team to embrace change and guide the next. 🤔 Have you tried using principles like Dunbar’s Number in your change initiatives?
