Which two heads?

While most readily agree that two heads are better than one, little thought is given to the discipline and deliberate nature required to create genuinely diverse and successful groups. Written by Juliet Bourke, partner in human capital at Deloitte, Which Two Heads Are Better Than One? How diverse teams create breakthrough ideas and make smarter decisions paints a compelling picture of what could be – if boards were better able to harness the power of diversity.

Tagged as a book that 2016 Australian of the Year and former Chief of Army, Lt Gen David Morrison AO, said he “couldn’t put down” and that President Obama’s diversity adviser, Bruce Stewart said is the “best research-based book on understanding cognitive diversity that I have ever read” – Which Two Heads Are Better Than One? disrupts several mainstream assumptions about diversity and replaces them with a replicable framework to help teams engage in more productive conversations and make wiser judgements.
