Hiring for culture fit vs Diversity and inclusion

[LauraHilliger]

We talk about culture and fit and at the same time we talk about being diverse and inclusive. What makes a person belong in a community? How and why do some people fit and others do not? How can we create open organizations that are the most inclusive spaces, where truly anyone can belong.

I'd say it starts with individuals making the effort to make everyone feel welcome, especially when they, personally don't understand why a particular person is opting to join the community in the first place. Perhaps understanding a little about someone's motivations will help one gain insight into your own community.

That experience of being on a boat, not a Greenpeace ship, the opposite of a GP ship. Fishing trawler. Feeling the difference in culture. Dive community culture. The love the lurker phenomenon http://www.laurahilliger.com/leadership/love-the-lurkers/
