Quotas are not legal. You cannot make hiring decisions on the basis of gender, race, ethnicity ... Build a bias-free process, have a diverse slate of candidates, but make the hire on the basis of who's the best candidate. - Brian Elliott
This is not about quotas—this is about equity, not equality. - Brian Elliott
What happens when you go with cronyism and just go with your favorite guy instead of the talent? You get a Cybertruck. If no one's willing to speak truth to power in an organization, eventually the organization goes sideways - Brian Elliott
The E in DEI is for Equity.
Build a bias free process, and hire the best candidate for the job.
Don't blame DEI for the problems, it's usually mismanagement, and specifically management that doesn't listen to their own people, who are on the ground, and know where many of the issues are.
