    Ashley Stewart started the topic Does Diversity Help Baseball Teams Win Games? Rutgers-Camden Management Scholar Seeks an Answer in the forum Diversity 2.0 11 years, 3 months ago

    A recent Rutgers research study has identified a new twist in the science behind diversity. Researchers have determined based on analysis of Major League baseball demographic data that winning baseball teams have what are known as “demographic faultlines”. In my Diversity2.0 language these are known as “cliques.” What the researchers found was…[Read more]

    Ashley Stewart started the topic We Like a Winning Face in the forum Diversity 2.0 11 years, 4 months ago

    Cultural Leaders understand that their unconscious biases can lead them to less than optimum decisions like everyone else.

    Ashley Stewart started the topic THe Cult of Personality…Why the President has to Lead in the forum Diversity 2.0 11 years, 4 months ago

    Alright the truth squad is in the house. I am the president’s biggest fan so let’s be clear about that. But, I am starting to see a pattern in the president’s administration that I find disturbing. The pattern? Everytime one of the president’s proposals or issues get challenged by the right, his advisors trot him out to give a speech and engage…[Read more]

    Ashley Stewart started the topic Come Together: Our Need to Cooperate for Coordination in the forum Diversity 2.0 11 years, 4 months ago

    One of the creations of a cultural leader is the creation of coordination or synchronization within an organization. In other words, in effective organizations the left hand knows what the right hand is doing. This is also what we call Unison. But, that is a conversation for another time.

    This article in Scientific American is great because it…[Read more]

    Ashley Stewart started the topic Buried Prejudice: The Bigot in Your Brain… in the forum Diversity 2.0 11 years, 4 months ago

    One of the aspects of Diversity2.0 is the focus unconscious biases as a universal condition that all of us are prone. The article in the Scientific American, “Buried Prejudice: The Bigot in Your Brain” is a well written piece that describes in detail how the natural condition of human beings is to unconsciously discriminate against others who are…[Read more]

    For the first time, children as young as 5 have been shown to understand issues regarding integration and separation. The research confirms that the ethnic composition of primary schools has a direct impact on children’s attitudes towards those in other ethnic groups and on their ability to get on with their peers.

    PBS produced a documentary with a corresponding website titiled,”Race: The Power of an Illusion”. This documentary details all the major issues surrounding race, it’s legacy, it’s origination, and the discrimination and predjudice that still exists today as a result of racial bigotry.

    Ashley Stewart started the topic No Such Thing as Ethnic Groups…It is All in Our Head Study Reveals in the forum Diversity 2.0 11 years, 4 months ago

    A recent study from my favorite source the Science Daily reported that ethnic groups are a creation of our minds and not grounded in genetic reality. What substitutes for what we think are ethnic differences are really the result of social rules and norms we have created to erect barriers between groups. Probably as a way to promote the status of…[Read more]

    Ashley Stewart started the topic Everything Might be Fair in Love and War, but not in Leadership When it Comes to Women… in the forum Diversity 2.0 11 years, 4 months ago

    The problem with leadership development is that as humans we are predisposed to think we know a good leader when we see him. (notice I said see “him”) Unfortunately, this view overlooks a wide talent pool of women and minorities who if given the chance could become special leaders. A recent study revealed that gender bias is still a big barrier…[Read more]

    It might sound a little strange that a lot about leadership can be learned from studying fish, but that is just what a group of researchers recently discovered. The major finding from the study of fish suggests that leadership is a dynamic process that is dependent on the context of the followers. In other words, the followers and the context…[Read more]
