Diversity Makes Projects More Successful

It seems that this article quotes a boatload of sources which could be presented as blatant examples of the very old and often forgotten motto "correlation does not imply causation".

Taken from the article:

> A study from McKinsey Research, for example, showed that across industry, gender diversity on a leadership team brough 15 percent higher financial returns than those without; those with ethnic diversity brought 35 percent higher returns.

Does anyone actually believe that an all-male, all white investment company would suddenly and magically see their returns increase by 35% if they added token employees to the team?

Perhaps a more reasonable -- and realistic -- explanation would be that success-driven companies hire based on results, and results aren't gender or even race-specific.

.. of course it does.
