The Diversity Bonus: How Great Teams Pay Off in the Knowledge Economy

The Diversity Bonus book makes a clear and compelling practical case for diversity and inclusion. It presents overwhelming evidence that teams that include different kinds of thinkers outperform homogenous groups on complex tasks, producing diversity bonuses. These bonuses include improved problem solving, increased innovation, and more accurate predictions―all of which lead to better results. Drawing on research in economics, psychology, computer science, and many other fields, The Diversity Bonus also tells the stories of businesses and organizations that have tapped the power of diversity to solve complex problems.

"Leaders often say that the greatest obstacle to diversifying their organizations is their commitment to 'excellence' and 'meritocracy.' Scott Page's important book blows that myth out of the water, powerfully demonstrating that diverse teams are better: more creative, productive, and profitable. After this, there is no excuse for making excuses."

— Naomi Oreskes, co-author of Merchants of Doubt

"A powerful way to appreciate the problem with homogeneity."

"If you want your business or team to perform better, read this book. With compelling evidence, examples, and writing, Scott Page makes the business case for drawing out diverse perspectives and shows you exactly how to do it. A clear road map for every team and leader."

— Laszlo Bock, former SVP of People Operations at Google and author of Work Rules!
