Fierce Females in Package Printing: Lori Campbell — Leveraging Diversity of Thought for Future Success
Campbell: To me, diversity and inclusion means more voices, more perspectives, and more input. And I’m a big believer in that. We’re too inclined as humans to listen to our own self-fulfilling thoughts and opinions of others. From the news that we watch and the newspapers we read to the social media sites that we follow, we have tendencies to support ideas that we already believe.
Having others — people who don’t come from the same perspectives or may share some of our beliefs but not all — enables you to become a well-rounded person and organization. The more voices, the more opinions, and the more input you get from others, you become more tolerant and what’s more, is that you grow your mental capabilities to think more globally.
