Why is it that, even after years of diversity and inclusion initiatives, many organizations still fall short of their key objective—the representation of talent from diverse groups at all levels supported by a corporate culture of career development and high performance for all employees? This article draws upon Novations’ 30 years of consulting and research experience to answer that question and offer solutions that companies can implement to maximize the capacity for high performance among their employees, with specific reference to traditionally underrepresented groups. Our point of view focuses on the importance of relational and influential confidence in building successful careers, along with the need for an explicit road map that outlines what "high performance" looks like at different stages of career development. By making the criteria for high performance and career success transparent, organizations can maximize the engagement and contributions of employees at all levels, regardless of their diversity backgrounds.
