Thoughtful post on DIVERSITY over HERE.
Checking the Diversity Box
Published
Musings, leadership tidbits and quotes posted by a retired Navy Captain (really just a high performing 2nd Class Petty Officer) who hung up his uniform a bit too early. He still wears his Navy service on his sleeve. He needs to get over that. "ADVANCE WARNING – NO ORIGINAL THOUGHT!" A "self-appointed" lead EVANGELIST for the "cryptologic community". Keeping CRYPTOLOGY alive-one day and Sailor at a time. 2019 is 84th Anniversary of the Naval Security Group.
I Like The Cut of His Jib 
His point that as one progresses in rank, the importance of the diversity a junior officer brings to the wardroom diminishes to the point where, as a senior officer having followed a set career path, he shares the more-or-less singular mindset of the senior leadship, is a good one. I see this happening in the civilian sector, too. But I think this phenomenon is just the \”nature of the beast,\” and perhaps a morally neutral development (well, for the most part, anyway).So is this necessarily a bad thing? Well, if it leads the leadership to be unable to \”think outside the bun,\” sure it is. But if that isn't really a significant issue (and I will leave it to others to comments on that), why fix what ain't broke? And if it is broke, how does it get fixed?
