> They mention an increase of from 3% to 5% of membership of senior black leaders. Do I think those senior black leaders earned it?

I'm still unclear as to why we're even bothering to ask the question. How many blonde leaders are there vs. brunettes? Are brunettes poorly represented in corporate leadership? Does anyone care? Why should they.



People should care because big companies are constantly competing on talent and it would be a competitive advantage to leverage a larger talent pool.


This presupposes they are discriminated against for these positions. 3-5% representation is extremely high for a demographic that comprises 1% of college graduates.


Don't we already hire managers explicitly to make decisions like this? Given we've hired them, shouldn't we trust them to make the best decisions for their teams and their objectives? It seems as though the additional bureaucracy introduced by DEI serves only to disempower managers. This is the function of all bureaucracy, to disempower individual decision making.
