“Leaders also need acquired diversity to establish a culture in which
all employees feel free to contribute ideas. Six behaviors, we have
found, unlock innovation across the board: ensuring that everyone is
heard; making it safe to propose novel ideas; giving team members
decision-making authority; sharing credit for success; giving actionable
feedback; and implementing feedback from the team. Leaders who give
diverse voices equal airtime are nearly twice as likely as others to
unleash value-driving insights, and employees in a “speak up” culture
are 3.5 times as likely to contribute their full innovative potential.”
