Diversity Is Good: Why Doesn’t Everyone Agree?
If all the viewpoints we hear come from people who are like us, we assume that we have the same information and the same perspective. We think we have the right answer and, since we don’t hear otherwise, we have no reason to think otherwise. It’s these beliefs, according to Phillips, that explain why creativity and innovation are more likely to spring from diverse rather than from identical groups.
