Excerpt:
There are more CEOs of large U.S. companies who are
named David (4.5%) than there are CEOs who are women (4.1%) — and
David isn’t even the most common first name among CEOs. (That would
be John, at 5.3%.)
Despite the ever-growing business case for diversity, roughly 85% of
board members and executives are white men. This doesn’t mean that
companies haven’t tried to change. Many have started investing hundreds
of millions of dollars on diversity initiatives each year. But the biggest
challenge seems to be figuring out how to overcome unconscious biases
that get in the way of these well-intentioned programs. We recently
conducted research that suggests a potential solution.
