The Mindset Advantage Arcadia Consulting

Diversity of race, ethnicity, gender, and background is minimal within STEMM industries. In fact, our research shows that ‘values diversity’ is one of the lowest-rated leadership competencies amongst male STEMM leaders, yet one of the highest-rated for women in STEMM.
