How diversity makes teams more innovative | Rocío Lorenzo | TED 

whaaat, you mean like not using quotas??? get outta here with your common sense

We can't, that'd be racist. D:

Heretic!

Romanski That's just hiring someone because of their looks and not their ability or skills. You're doing the same you complained about.

Romanski Yes! I agree with you. Just studied this subject at uni. Searching through comments to find this.

yeah man

Heck Yes

every time

Ya got me

same. Comments were guaranteed to be more entertaining than the video itself!

What are you talking about? They an extremely reliable source of SJW and Biased propaganda.

Almost forgot to unsub

I had some doubts about the soundness of those studies myself, but why jump to conclusions? What if her data is sound and verifiable?

WHAT? Are you claiming that TED had any credibility left at this point?

sam hyde killed them really

Adrian baitTED videos. HAha.

Yes.

Women are more likely to be creative.

I'd say it depends on the country. I am from Latvia and most women here are happy about a casual family life and once they are settled in, they most likely won't risk anything to lose it. Men are more innovative here and work in more creative fields than women. Personally I am a videographer and motion graphics designer and most people (I'd say around 80%) of the people who do the same stuff I do in Latvia are men. Estonia, on the other hand, is the complete opposite from what I've experienced

That's funny - because a group of WOMEN at Duke university found that to not be true. hbr.org/2015/12/even-women-think-men-are-more-creative

Welcome To My Channel lol. It’s so obviously true it must be sexist. Probably racist too.

buckybone89 then companies that hire more creative people will hire more women. (If your statement is true)

Truckers, farmers, disheashers...

And yes please on oil rigs ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xIrcRu-dsV0.html

Bob Woodward umm you're forgetting the 1000 personality typ- I mean genders

Heskey 4 Lyfe amen

Can't do that that'd be 'misogynistic'

how about structures in which that would be possible?

There will always bc people of both genders that are qualified. Women make up more of the population then men......so you could have a workplace of all women and they would all be qualified. Same with men. She’s saying it’s better to have BOTH.

@@TheHG12 i wonder how much stuff will get done at an all-women company

But in reality people just don't hire workers based on skill and experience. There are many studies that show this. For example, if you show the exact same cv to many employers, they are much more likely to say "I would hire this person" if the name on the cv is a male name. It is the same cv. People are just inherently biased against women, even if they don't realize this themselves.

That creates a pipeline problem, where the only people who get hired are the people who've always been hired.

Except that never happens: If you have exprience, you have higher pay. Lower pay means less exprience.

Double D that is true but hiring based on gender is still stupid

you pidori

Alex Williams ikr...

Because when they aren't pushing this bs, the videos are pretty interesting.

Oh no new ideas I must escape this place.

Pack Guar not new ideas... Warped ideas that fundamentaly are wrong.

Alex Williams at TED-talks people talk about what they think, so there are many different speakers and opinions. If there is connection between diversity and innovation and this results are replicable, then you probably should change opinion or ignore science. But, less female in leadership can have a lot of reasons: sexism ("not job for women"), raising kinds, but companies anyway need to give work to better worker. Edit: and if diversity is cause and innovations is effect.

why you hire men in a brothel ?

*3rd-wave feminists, not women.

whamen*

Throwback to the days when feminism was actually worthwhile.

A woman (singular) Several women (plural)

Well what if she is correct though? That doesn't change because she is a woman. She made a study (and was even herself skeptical about three possibility of this being true) and these are the results, like it or not. More diversity = more innovation revenue.

I've heard they paid this speaker less just so she has something to make a new video about.

Savage.

vikipoyta your a hero

IKR? Makes you wonder why people haven't caught on on this win-win situation 🤔

Underrated comment

mrBorkD what about blue attack helicopters.

@Killsocialmedia the pretty ones provide for great eye candy

The most innovative company's today didn't focus on hiring smart people for ideas. They hired creative people.

lololol!

beliefless What did you just type? That's gibberish.

Kai if you want to hear useless gibberish, just watch the video.

Western culture hates "loser men" which is like 75% of us.

dislike

I read a scientific paper the other day that found that 80% of humanities papers ..."studies" are not even cited.

Yeah it must be pseudoscience if it doesn't fit your biased views. And all the cited and replicated sociological studies are wrong. They either confirm your biases or they are not real science right? Just think about it for a second. Think about the possibility of the things you consider "biology" actually coming from our society. I am not saying men and women would behave identically if there were no society, there would probably be some differences. But you just can not look at how they behave today and claim it is just biology. Especially not after centuries of "gender role" indoctrination. We need many, many more studies to understand what is biology and what is culture, but it is impossible when majority of people dismiss every new idea about gender without even considering them. I just want you to be rational.

80% of humanities studies are agenda-driven and lack citations.

Yeah we need more studies but if your theory completely disregards everything we already know about psychology and biology then it's useless ideology not science. Very few if any of these "gender diversity" talks and articles even touch on the topic of psychology and the differences between the sexes, if they do it's just an unsupported claim along the lines of "all differences are a result of the patriarchy." Never have I seen one of these talks bring up evolutionary biology, and how it's shaped our bodies, behavior and thought processes. Lets talk about gender diversity, but lets do it from a fact based scientific perspective, not an ideological one. Even this talk treads some murky waters here, she starts off by defining diversity to include not only include gender but also nationality, career, industry, age and education. She then says more diverse companies are more innovative, she doesn't say more _gender diverse_ companies are more innovative even though that *may* be a factor. She then talks about the connection between diversity and innovation in companies and then suddenly she starts talking about how there aren't enough women in management as if gender diversity is the sole cause of this innovation when they defined diversity to include a combination of many things. That's the problem I have with so many of these talks, they take one study, one particular piece of data, then use that as a launching point for an agenda driven ideological rant. To be fair this was one of the better talks on the topic I've seen but in my opinion it's still not good enough.

no pseudoscience here. big survey with clear results. then she hypothesized around the results. She made no comparison to how important gender is compared to other statistics, just that is appears to play a role. However, this could effectively turn into stupidity if people just shout their own agenda and ignore the content.

She didn't even ask the question why women were not going for such a position. It was easier for her to bash on house wives. It is pathetic

Nailed it.

I'm sure TED is working on that talk as we speak.

You can hold your breath LuL

J Briggs it's-a me, Maria!

Find me a female that wants to be a plumber and then we'll talk

Bruh 😂

Did she say how innovation is defined and how long it lasted? Did she say which fields and industries? Did she say if those innovations were profitable?

Its sad that critical thinking is leaving the university and critical race theory is entering.

Me too 😂 that’s why I’m here watching it

And never will

True, men tend to be much more creative, while women are generally more practical. Innovation comes from both. Maybe people should be hired based on skills rather than gender and race

mwildish did you watch the video?

Yes

It just seemed odd that you would ask the exact same question that she states a few minutes in

Actually she didn't. She skirted the question. She makes the assumption that the company is innovative because of the diversity instead of considering that innovation (a choice by the management, not the workers) is where the job growth is. 50 years ago all the most innovative companies were virtually all white males. What changed? The answer is demographics and attitudes changed. Innovation has nothing to do with diversity. Companies that are highly innovative are the ones hiring new graduates, and today that is a more diverse group. It's sloppy, lazy research.

mwildish she doesn't skirt around it she bluntly states it's impossible to know and she is working on the assumption that there is some likelihood that they feed into each other. That's it.

Ninmikey01 Misandry is the opposite of misogyny. Sexism has no other direction, both of those fall under it.

Yes that gender that invented and discovered everything save a few exceptions through human history

cheeseisgreat24 Your decision to belittle the views of people you disagree with instead of engaging in a discussion is what ensures this divisiveness will continue and in fact grow.

You are correct, I, in fact, am the one belittling the views of other people. I am the whole problem in this scenario. The people looking in the face of a talk representing hard data and saying "Nah, that's not real because my preconceived notions of gender in the workforce, not based on any data whatsoever, deny it" are not a problem in the least, and their views are the ones that definitely need preserving onto our children and our children's children for time immemorial.

David T. For some reason IDK, your comment made me laugh hysterically

Grant Baugh you could fill every lake river and ocean with the amount of sexist bullshit pseudoscience TED has put out. Also I thought feminists wanted men to be more emotional. Why would you shame them for saying what they feel?

Everything Is Relative Ok how is this sexist? It's literally saying that companies that have 20% of leadership filled with women do better in innovation. Yet so many men here are crying about how men are actually the more innovative or other stuff. It's frankly silly how they're acting like this is some sort of attack on males.

Grant Baugh The majority of what I see here is "why not just hire the best person for the job". The fact is she even says it herself. She isn't sure if more diverse companies leads to better innovation or if innovative companies hire more women simply because they're more successful and hire more people in general. Correlation does not equal causation. She takes a broader study whittles it down to a gender divide and presents it as A leads to B ignoring the fact that she's doesn't actually know anything. Imagine if you took the subject of "If you want higher wages in the workforce, hire more men" Its sexist discriminatory and doesn't actually acknowledge the science behind it.

Ikr

The wreckage is substantial-so many fragile male egos up in this space

My channel is so diverse you'll crap your diverse pants!

ben Robson Honest question, what is a diverse idea? Do you mean to say that group A will produce ideas that group B is literally incapable of producing?

Yes, that is exactly what it means. Perspective can mean a difference between a great product to something that is just acceptably okay. It all comes down to different backgrounds and experiences these people might have had that makes them value things differently and thus open them up to different view points. This is why early feedback is super important to figure out what customers really want rather than aim what you want. So having really diverse team helps but it is not automatic key to success. Listening to your customers is the real key here to be valued in every opportunity.

7:44 Are you not going to compare it to the male statistic? You are hiding something

Pork Chop Hahahahahaha, what are you?

I'm a hetrosexual male.

Pork Chop Good to know.

You could also use this in Japan, Singapore, Kuwait, UAE, India to tell them to hire you (a white guy).

@@aoeu256 Well, except those nations don't fall for this politically correct nonsense and understand that people are using this PC culture as a weapon to get what they want. Those nations see what's going on here and wonder how or why we are putting up with this.

It means more profitable companies can afford to be more diverse.

Oh yes
