Despite the demonstrated benefit of diversity within a team structure, there is a lack of diversity among leadership in professional organizations. An increase in diversity among leadership teams would allow for more effective communication with team members, better problem-solving skills, increased trust within a team environment, and greater inspiration for future generations. Therefore, diversity should be a core concept within a leadership team.
