15. “The cost of excluding women and them not
succeeding in their careers is huge. If you add
up women, LGBT people, people of different
ethnic origins or different religions who can
feel excluded from the workplace, it’s a huge
pool of talent you’re missing out on.”
Micheal Brunt, CMO of The Economist

makeup of our companies.”
