"Diversify or Die is an innovative book about diversity and inclusion. Every executive, manager, supervisor, entrepreneur, and even employees would benefit from the lessons in this very special book.
Diversify or Die convincingly demonstrates how diversity and inclusion have a direct impact on the bottom line of every organization, be they for profit or not for profit. Even governments would benefit. Indeed, Diversify or Die posits that organizations must diversify their leadership, employees, vision, mission, communications and marketing or ultimately they will lose out to their competition and eventually die."

It's time to wake up!
Diversify or Die is brilliant! Eric Guthrie’s creative use of the works of Charles Darwin within the context of diversity and inclusion brought a new and exciting approach to diversity. As a Director of Sales, Author, and an owner of a Non Profit I am personally and professionally involved with diversity and inclusion on a daily basis, Diversify or Die kept me engaged on every level. Diversify or Die is not just theory but helps initiate immediate application. I appreciated how most chapters concluded with the “Evolve and Succeed” actions, providing insightful recommendations to evolve diversity. If you are looking to evolve diversity and inclusion in your organization, Diversify or Die is a must read!

25 year diversity officer and firm owner: This is a real read... make it happen or "die" as "it" happens to you.
Gotta know what you need to know in this most difficult role in all of social advancement professions - chief diversity officer. Diversify or Die gives the hard hitting but fair advise diversity professionals and CEOs need to gain comprehensive foresight into the challenges that make diversity leadership both rewarding and terrifying! It's truly a must read and is not for the "feel good," "let's all get along" practitioner. This is a real read... make it happen or "die" as "it" happens to you.

Most relevant book yet!
This book was very enlightening. It went in depth of how diversifying a company, whether it be in culture, people, or practices can enhance a business's chances of longevity. I really enjoyed the fact that so much insight was given on the different forces that cause businesses to fail. Any business owner or entrepreneur should grab a copy of this book and begin their journey to success. Diversity is the key to staying a step ahead of the competition, and remaining a competitive force in the economy.

Well Written Essential Reading

Anyone who is in a field where people and information are dominant factors in the metrics of business will benefit from the information gleaned by Mr. Guthrie!

Love It
Living in three countries (Jamaica, Canada and USA) and three cultures, I was interested to see how Diversify or Die would address diversity from an international perspective. Although the author does not address the issue of diversity from other countries, the analytics and methodology can be used in any country, any culture and any language. As an IT professional, was really interested in what the author had to say about diversity in IT. His thoughts were insightful and cutting edge. If all of the IT companies used just a few of the recommendations in this book, the IT profession would be very diverse. I highly recommend Diversify or Die to anyone that wants to learn more about diversity and inclusion and to all employees and business owners that want to use diversity to improve their workplace. I really like the way it ends on a positive tone when the author says “diversify and thrive.”
