HR MORNING
— How to support an asymmetrical team when it comes to diversity – Rena Nigam
(COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office 1980-1997, they assigned me to many audit teams. I should write a book about each of those audits and each of those teams. Almost always, those who led the teams and the team members were Democrats. Almost always, I was the only Republican on the teams. Almost always, all the members of the teams were minority, female, younger, veteran, disabled, non-Protestant, non-German American, moderate, liberal, and/or their ancestors had not been in America for a long time. Almost always, when the teams missed deadlines or had other problems, I was the one who they blamed.)
