Okay, let's be honest - DEI (that's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for those who've somehow missed the acronym explosion) has become one of those terms tossed around in corporate meetings like confetti. But here's the thing - when you actually understand and implement it properly, DEI creates something amazing: workplaces where people feel valued, have real opportunities to succeed, and can show up as their authentic selves.
Isn't that what good leadership does? Create space for your team to flourish and succeed? But what does DEI really mean beyond the buzzwords, and why should you care? Let's break it down together.
Understanding the Core Elements of DEI
Before we dive into the good stuff, let's get on the same page about what we're actually talking about:
Diversity: More Than Just Race
I find it fascinating how often we reduce diversity to just one dimension - typically race. But diversity is so much richer than that!
The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) identifies 18 distinct dimensions of diversity that shape our perspectives and experiences. Think about all the ways we differ from each other:
The 18 Dimensions of Diversity:
- Age - From Gen Z to Traditionalists, each brings unique perspectives
- Disability - Different abilities create different approaches to problem-solving
- Ethnicity/national origin (culture) - Cultural backgrounds shape worldviews
- Family status - Single, married, parents, caregivers all have different priorities
- Gender - Different lived experiences based on gender identity
- Gender identity or expression - How people experience and express their gender
- Generation - Shaped by different historical events and technological eras
- Language - Native languages and multilingual abilities offer diverse communication styles
- Life experiences - Unique personal journeys create distinct insights
- Organization function and level - Different roles bring different operational perspectives
- Personality type - Introverts, extroverts, and everything in between
- Physical characteristics - Height, appearance, and other physical traits
- Race - Racial identity and its associated experiences
- Religion, belief and spirituality - Faith traditions and spiritual practices
- Sexual orientation - Different relationship structures and community experiences
- Thinking/learning styles - Visual, auditory, kinesthetic learners process differently
- Veteran status - Military service creates unique leadership and teamwork skills
- Neurodiverse - Different neurological functioning brings creative problem-solving approaches
When you really think about it, every single person in your organization represents a unique combination of these 18 dimensions. No two people are identical across all these factors - even identical twins will differ in personality type, life experiences, or thinking styles!
This is why focusing solely on visible characteristics like race or gender, while important, tells only part of the diversity story. Two people who share the same race might differ dramatically across 15+ other dimensions, bringing completely different perspectives to your team.
The Boomer Grandmother vs. Gen Z Grandchild: A Study in Diversity
Isn't it wild to think about the diversity that exists just within your own family? Consider a Boomer grandmother (maybe think of your grandmother) and her Gen Z grandchild (maybe you) - talk about different worlds!
Technological Fluency:
- Grandmother: She still prints out emails and calls you when her router needs resetting. She grew up with rotary phones and typewriters!
- Gen Z Grandchild: Her grandkid is creating TikToks, streaming, texting and navigating five apps simultaneously without breaking a sweat.
Communication Preferences:
- Grandmother: Loves those hour-long phone calls and sends you birthday cards weeks in advance.
- Gen Z Grandchild: Might respond with just an emoji or meme that somehow perfectly captures a complex emotion
Work and Career Views:
- Grandmother: "You should stay with one company for 30 years like your grandfather did!"
- Gen Z Grandchild: "I'd prefer to be a digital nomad with three side hustles and my own NFT collection."
Financial Perspectives:
- Grandmother: Still might have a savings account book and views homeownership as the ultimate financial goal
- Gen Z Grandchild: Has a crypto wallet and might invest in fractional shares through an app
Social Values:
- Grandmother: Shaped by civil rights movements, Cold War tensions, and traditional family structures
- Gen Z Grandchild: Deeply concerned about climate change, comfortable with fluid identities, and connected to global communities online
Despite their differences (or maybe because of them!), they bring such richness to each other's lives. Grandma shares wisdom and perspective; the grandchild brings fresh ideas and helps her stay connected. That's the beauty of diversity in action - and the same principle applies in our workplaces.
Self-Reflection: Exploring Your Own Dimensions of Diversity
Let's pause for a moment and turn the lens on ourselves. Grab your favorite beverage and ponder these questions:
- Beyond visible characteristics: What parts of your identity might not be obvious to others but really shape how you see the world?
- Generational influences: How did growing up during certain historical events shape you differently than people from other generations? Consider defining moments like:
- Traditionalists/Silent Generation: Great Depression, World War II, Korean War
- Baby Boomers: JFK assassination, Vietnam War, Civil Rights Movement, Watergate, moon landing
- Generation X: Challenger disaster, fall of Berlin Wall, AIDS crisis, rise of MTV and personal computers
- Millennials: 9/11, Columbine, dot-com boom and bust, rise of the internet
- Gen Z: Great Recession, COVID pandemic, social media from birth, school shooting drills, climate change activism
- Cognitive patterns: Are you the analytical type who needs spreadsheets for everything, or more of a big-picture creative thinker? How might that differ from your colleagues?
- Life experiences: Have you lived abroad? Overcome significant hardships? Had unusual jobs? How do these experiences give you unique insights?
- Values alignment: Which of your deeply held values might span across different demographic groups, and which might be more tied to your specific background?
- Feelings about DEI: How do you honestly feel when DEI comes up in conversation? Excited? Uncomfortable? Confused? Where do you think those feelings come from - personal experiences, family influence, what you've seen in the media?
Taking time to reflect on these questions helps us recognize our own multifaceted uniqueness while appreciating the complex diversity others bring to our teams. Plus, it's pretty fascinating stuff to discover about yourself!
Beyond Visual Diversity: The Uniqueness Within Apparent Similarity
Have you ever noticed how we tend to make assumptions about people who look similar? It's such a common human mistake. When we focus only on race or other visible characteristics, we miss the incredible uniqueness that exists even among seemingly similar people.
The Problem with Assumed Similarity
Picture this scenario: two 45-year-old Black women executives with similar educational backgrounds working at the same company. Easy to check the same "diversity box," right? But dig deeper, and you might discover that one is:
- A first-generation American with parents from Nigeria
- Raised in a conservative religious household
- A military veteran who served overseas
- Living in a blended family with stepchildren
- An introvert who processes information internally
While the other might be:
- A seventh-generation American with Afro-Caribbean roots
- Raised in a progressive secular environment
- Hasn't left the United States
- Single with no children
- An extrovert who processes information through discussion
See what I mean?
Despite appearing similar on those demographic forms we all love filling out (not!), these women bring vastly different perspectives, life experiences, and thinking styles to their work. When we assume they think alike just because they share racial identity, we're missing out on all that richness.
How Assumptions Stifle Relationships and Create Toxic Environments
Let's be real - these assumptions create all kinds of problems:
For individuals: Being treated as the "spokesperson" for your entire demographic group is exhausting. Imagine having to represent all Black women or all Gen Z'ers or all people with disabilities in every meeting! As one executive confided, "I'm constantly expected to 'speak for Black women' in meetings, as though we were all in a group chat and I had all the answers." Talk about an unfair burden.
For teams: When we make assumptions about colleagues based on how they look, we miss chances to discover surprising insights. We might hold back ideas thinking "She probably wouldn't agree with me since we're so different" or falsely assume "He's like me, so he'll definitely support this approach." These are perfect examples of affinity and out group biases.
For organizations: When people feel reduced to demographic representatives rather than seen as complex individuals, they often head for the exit. That psychological burden drains energy that could otherwise fuel creativity and productivity.
Moving Toward True Recognition of Individual Uniqueness
So how do we fix this? Here are some practical approaches:
1. Practice "curious questioning" rather than assumption-making
Instead of guessing someone's perspective based on their demographic characteristics, get genuinely curious about their unique viewpoint. Simple questions like "I'd love to hear your thoughts on this" or "What's your perspective based on your experience?" can open up fascinating conversations. Be careful with your tone and remember the state of your relationship with the person you are speaking with. Because "What's your perspective based on your experience?" can be received as genuine or sarcastic.
2. Create space for multifaceted self-identification
Rather than sorting people into simple demographic boxes, create opportunities for team members to share the aspects of their identity they find most meaningful. You might be surprised what people consider central to their identity versus what you assumed.
3. Recognize intersectionality in organizational conversations
Remember that each person navigates multiple identities simultaneously - like being a woman AND an immigrant AND a parent AND a first-generation college graduate. These intersections create unique experiences that can't be reduced to any single factor.
4. Challenge stereotypical thinking directly
When you catch yourself or notice colleagues making assumptions based on demographics ("Let's ask Sarah about this; she's Asian so she'll have insight into the Asian market"), gently redirect toward individual expertise rather than presumed group representation.
The Empathy and Emotional Intelligence Connection
Here's something that might be uncomfortable to hear: when leaders downplay or ignore DEI and the uniqueness it represents, they're often revealing gaps in their empathy and emotional intelligence. Let me explain what I mean.
Empathy - the ability to understand and share the feelings of others - requires us to step outside our own experience and genuinely consider how others might navigate the world differently. When someone dismisses the value of diverse perspectives or assumes everyone shares their worldview, they're essentially saying, "My experience is universal, and everyone else's is less valid." That's a pretty significant empathy deficit.
Emotional intelligence includes self-awareness, social awareness, and relationship management. Leaders with high emotional intelligence recognize that their team members bring different strengths, challenges, and perspectives based on their unique combination of those 18 diversity dimensions we discussed. They understand that what motivates one person might not work for another, and they adapt their leadership style accordingly.
Consider this scenario: A leader notices that certain team members consistently remain quiet in meetings while others dominate the conversation. A leader lacking empathy might think, "If they had something valuable to say, they'd speak up." But an emotionally intelligent leader recognizes that cultural background, personality type, or past experiences might make some people less comfortable speaking up in large groups. They create alternative ways for all voices to be heard.
When leaders resist DEI initiatives, they often reveal their inability or unwillingness to:
- Recognize their own privilege and blind spots (self-awareness deficit)
- Understand how others' experiences differ from their own (empathy deficit)
- Adapt their leadership style to different individuals (emotional intelligence deficit)
- Value perspectives that challenge their assumptions (ego protection over growth)
The most effective leaders understand that embracing DEI isn't about political correctness or checking boxes - it's about developing the empathy and emotional intelligence necessary to lead diverse teams effectively. In our increasingly complex and interconnected world, these aren't nice-to-have skills - they're leadership imperatives.
This is why DEI work is ultimately leadership development work. It challenges us to grow beyond our comfortable assumptions and develop the emotional capacity to truly understand and value others' experiences. Leaders who resist this growth limit not only their organizations' potential but their own effectiveness as well.
Reframing "Diversity Hires": A Competitive Advantage
Let's talk about that unfortunate term "diversity hire" for a minute. Ever noticed how it's often used with a hint of skepticism, as if suggesting someone was hired for their demographic characteristics rather than their qualifications? This framing completely misses the point of what diverse team members bring to organizations.
Breaking Through Groupthink
Here's something I find fascinating: When teams consist of people with similar backgrounds and thinking patterns, they become vulnerable to groupthink - that phenomenon where everyone nods along because nobody wants to rock the boat. The result? Some pretty questionable decision-making!
Imagine a marketing team made up entirely of people who grew up in wealthy urban neighborhoods trying to create campaigns for rural or lower-income consumers. Without diverse perspectives in the room, they're likely to make assumptions that completely miss the mark. A team member with different lived experiences can spot those blind spots before they become expensive mistakes.
Novel Ideas and Fresh Perspectives
Let's be honest - innovation rarely emerges from rooms where everyone thinks alike. When we all approach problems from similar angles, we tend to come up with predictable solutions. Yawn.
Consider a financial services company staffed primarily by finance professionals with similar backgrounds. They might benefit enormously from bringing in someone with a background in behavioral psychology or anthropology who asks completely different questions about how people relate to money. Those fresh perspectives often lead to the most groundbreaking innovations.
The Power of the Naïve Question
Don't you love those moments when someone asks a question that starts with "Why do we..." or "Have we considered..." and the whole room goes quiet because it's such a simple yet profound question? When someone isn't trapped in "how we've always done things," they're free to question assumptions that long-time insiders don't even recognize as assumptions anymore.
These seemingly naïve questions - asked by someone with fresh eyes - often lead to breakthrough moments. They force teams to articulate and examine their unstated beliefs, frequently revealing opportunities for improvement that were hiding in plain sight.
From "Diversity Hire" to "Innovation Catalyst"
What if, instead of viewing diversity hiring as a compliance exercise or necessary compromise, we recognized diverse team members as innovation catalysts? They don't succeed despite their differences - they succeed because of them.
The key is creating environments where diverse perspectives are genuinely valued, where questioning assumptions is welcomed, and where differences are seen as assets rather than obstacles. When organizations achieve this shift, "diversity hires" transform into competitive advantages that drive superior performance.
Leveraging Multi-Generational Diversity: Five Generations Working Together
Isn't it wild that for the first time in history, we have five distinct generations working side by side? Rather than seeing this as a recipe for conflict (OK Boomer vs. whatever the latest TikTok trend is), smart leaders recognize this multi-generational diversity as a strategic advantage.
The Five Generations in Today's Workplace
Traditionalists/Silent Generation (born 1928-1945)Though fewer in number these days, these employees bring incredible historical perspective and crisis-tested resilience. Having lived through World War II and the Great Depression, they often demonstrate remarkable work ethic and loyalty. They've seen a thing or two!
Baby Boomers (born 1946-1964)Known for their strong work centrality and competitive drive, Boomers often bring deep organizational knowledge and established professional networks. Many occupy senior leadership positions and hold valuable institutional memory - they know where all the metaphorical bodies are buried!
Generation X (born 1965-1980)The "bridge generation" that adapts between analog and digital worlds, Gen Xers often combine technical competence with strong interpersonal skills. They frequently value autonomy, work-life balance, and no-nonsense approaches to problem-solving. As the original latchkey kids, they're pretty self-sufficient.
Millennials (born 1981-1996)As digital pioneers who grew up during rapid technological change, Millennials often bring technological fluency, comfort with diversity, and desire for meaningful work. They tend to question hierarchical structures and seek purpose alongside compensation. And contrary to popular belief, most of them aren't eating avocado toast while job-hopping!
Generation Z (born 1997-2012)As true digital natives, Gen Z brings unprecedented technological intuition, global awareness, and entrepreneurial mindsets. They often demonstrate strong values around authenticity, social responsibility, and mental health awareness. They've never known a world without the internet!
How Leaders Can Transform Generational Differences into Advantages
1. Create Cross-Generational Mentoring Programs
Forget traditional one-way mentoring where older employees teach younger ones. How about bi-directional or circle mentoring where each generation shares their strengths?
- Boomers might share leadership wisdom and industry knowledge
- Gen X can teach pragmatic problem-solving and work-life integration
- Millennials might offer digital marketing insights and collaboration techniques
- Gen Z could share emerging technology trends and social media strategies
2. Design Mixed-Generation Project Teams
Imagine the power of intentionally creating project teams with generational diversity to tackle complex challenges, combining:
- A Boomer's experience with past market cycles
- A Gen Xer's pragmatic project management approach
- A Millennial's facility with collaborative technologies
- A Gen Zer's fresh perspective and digital intuition
This combination often yields solutions that are both innovative and practical, informed by both historical context and emerging trends. It's like getting the best of all worlds!
3. Leverage Different Communication Preferences
Instead of insisting everyone communicate the same way (and annoying everyone in the process), wise leaders tap into diverse generational preferences:
- Use face-to-face meetings when depth and nuance are needed (often preferred by older generations)
- Employ digital tools when speed and reach are priorities (typically favored by younger generations)
- Create written documentation for complex policies (appreciated across generations for different reasons)
- Use visual communication for emotional impact and quick understanding
4. Focus on Shared Values While Respecting Differences
Smart leaders identify core values that transcend generational boundaries—like respect, meaningful work, and fair recognition—while acknowledging different expressions of these values:
- Recognition might mean public praise for one generation but advancement opportunities for another
- Work-life balance might mean weekends off for one generation but flexible scheduling for another
- Professional development might mean formal training for one generation but experiential learning for another
5. Create Psychological Safety Around Generational Differences
When organizations can openly and respectfully discuss generational differences without stereotyping, they transform potential friction points into learning opportunities:
- Normalize conversations about different workplace expectations
- Encourage curiosity about why different generations might approach situations differently
- Frame differences as complementary strengths rather than competing priorities
When organizations strategically leverage multi-generational diversity rather than merely managing it, they gain competitive advantages in innovation, market insight, risk management, and talent development. The magic happens not by eliminating generational differences but by creating environments where these differences become complementary strengths.
The Business Case for DEI: More Than Just "The Right Thing to Do"
I know what you might be thinking - "Sure, DEI sounds nice, but does it actually impact the bottom line?" The research says: absolutely! While creating more equitable and inclusive workplaces is certainly the ethical choice, the business benefits are equally compelling:
1. Enhanced Innovation and Problem-Solving
Teams with diverse backgrounds and perspectives naturally bring different approaches to challenges. A study by McKinsey found that companies with more diverse workforces consistently outperform their less diverse peers on profitability measures. Specifically, companies in the top quartile for ethnic diversity were 36% more likely to have financial returns above their national industry median (McKinsey & Company, "Diversity Wins: How Inclusion Matters," 2020).
A Boston Consulting Group study found that companies with above-average diversity on their management teams reported innovation revenue 19 percentage points higher than companies with below-average leadership diversity—45% of total revenue versus just 26% (Boston Consulting Group, "How Diverse Leadership Teams Boost Innovation," 2018). That's nearly double the innovation! Who wouldn't want that competitive edge?
2. Improved Financial Performance
Let's talk money. Organizations with strong diversity practices are more likely to outperform their competitors financially. Companies in the top quartile for gender diversity are 25% more likely to have above-average profitability compared to their industry peers. For every 10% increase in racial and ethnic diversity on the senior-executive team, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) rise 0.8% (McKinsey & Company, "Delivering through Diversity," 2018).
Even more impressive, a study from Cloverpop found that inclusive teams make better business decisions up to 87% of the time, and they make decisions twice as fast with half the meetings (Forbes, "New Research: Diversity + Inclusion = Better Decision Making At Work," 2017). Imagine cutting your meeting time in half while making better decisions!
3. Stronger Talent Attraction and Retention
In today's competitive job market, top talent is looking closely at your DEI efforts. According to Glassdoor, 76% of job seekers consider workplace diversity important when evaluating companies and job offers. Furthermore, 32% of job candidates would not apply to a job at a company where there is a lack of diversity among its workforce (Glassdoor, "Diversity & Inclusion Workplace Survey," 2020). Can you afford to lose a third of your potential talent pool?
Research from Deloitte found that organizations with inclusive cultures are 2x as likely to meet or exceed financial targets, 3x as likely to be high-performing, 6x more likely to be innovative and agile, and 8x more likely to achieve better business outcomes (Deloitte, "The Diversity and Inclusion Revolution," 2018). Those are some seriously impressive numbers!
4. Greater Employee Engagement
We all know engaged employees are productive employees. When people feel valued and included, they're more engaged in their work. Gallup research shows that engaged employees are 17% more productive and demonstrate 41% lower absenteeism. Additionally, organizations with high employee engagement scores experience 23% higher profitability compared to those with lower engagement (Gallup, "State of the Global Workplace," 2022).
A study by BetterUp found that workplace belonging leads to a 56% increase in job performance, a 50% reduction in turnover risk, and a 75% decrease in employee sick days (BetterUp, "The Value of Belonging at Work," 2019). That's right - people who feel they belong call in sick 75% less often. Talk about a win-win!
5. Enhanced Customer Understanding
A diverse workforce brings insights about different customer segments. This deeper understanding helps organizations better serve diverse markets and anticipate evolving consumer needs. According to research by Harvard Business Review, teams with higher diversity solved problems faster than teams of cognitively similar individuals, and diverse teams were more likely to identify novel solutions that homogeneous teams missed (Harvard Business Review, "How Diversity Makes Us Smarter," 2017).
A study from the Center for Talent Innovation found that companies with diverse teams were 70% more likely to capture new markets and 45% more likely to improve market share (Center for Talent Innovation, "Innovation, Diversity and Market Growth," 2018). When your team reflects your diverse customer base, you're simply better positioned to meet their needs.
Practical Ways Leaders Can Foster Inclusion in Today's Workplace
So you're convinced DEI matters, but how do you actually make it happen? Here are some practical steps you can take right away:
1. Examine Your Hiring and Promotion Practices
- Use structured interviews with consistent questions for all candidates (this reduces bias more than you might think!)
- Try removing identifying information from resumes during initial screening - you might be surprised who makes it through
- Establish clear, objective criteria for promotions and raises - vague criteria tend to favor people who look like current leaders
- Require diverse candidate slates for open positions - you can't hire diverse talent if they never make it to the interview
2. Create Psychological Safety
- Actively solicit input from all team members, especially those who might be hesitant to speak up
- Acknowledge and appreciate different perspectives, even when they challenge the status quo
- Address exclusionary behavior promptly - letting it slide sends a powerful negative message
- Make it safe for people to express concerns by responding with curiosity rather than defensiveness
3. Implement Flexible Work Policies
- Recognize that different employees have different needs - one-size-fits-all rarely works
- Offer flexible schedules when possible - the pandemic proved many jobs can be done flexibly
- Provide reasonable accommodations without requiring extensive justification
- Evaluate performance based on results rather than time in office or face time with the boss
4. Develop Cultural Intelligence
- Invest in cultural competence training - but make sure it goes beyond surface-level awareness
- Encourage learning about different backgrounds and experiences through employee resource groups
- Create opportunities for sharing cultural traditions in appropriate, non-tokenizing ways
- Recognize and respect different communication styles - direct isn't always better, just different
5. Model Inclusive Leadership
- Be transparent about your own learning journey - nobody gets it perfect right away
- Hold yourself accountable for inclusive behaviors, not just words
- Listen more than you speak - you might be surprised what you learn
- Acknowledge mistakes and commit to doing better - vulnerability from leaders is powerful
How Everyone Benefits from Our Combined Uniqueness
When we create environments that value diversity, promote equity, and practice inclusion, everybody wins:
- Organizations gain through enhanced innovation, improved performance, and better market understanding
- Individuals benefit from being able to bring their whole selves to work, receiving fair opportunities, and contributing meaningfully
- Teams thrive with broader perspectives, complementary strengths, and deeper collaboration
- Society advances as we break down barriers and create more just and equitable systems
That's the beauty of truly embracing DEI - it isn't a zero-sum game where some win and others lose. When we leverage our combined uniqueness - whether differences in age, experience, thinking style, cultural background, or other dimensions - we create something greater than any homogeneous group could achieve on their own.
Moving Beyond Compliance to Commitment
For too long, many organizations approached diversity as a compliance issue - checking boxes to meet minimum requirements and avoid legal trouble. Today's successful organizations recognize that genuine commitment to DEI principles creates competitive advantages.
By understanding the true meaning of diversity (our many dimensions of difference), equity (creating genuine equal opportunity), and inclusion (valuing every voice), we can build workplaces and communities that benefit from our combined uniqueness rather than being limited by artificial barriers.
The question isn't whether DEI matters anymore - it's how quickly and effectively we can create environments where everyone's unique contributions are recognized and valued. In doing so, we don't just build better organizations - we build a better world.
FAQs About Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Q: Isn't focusing on diversity actually creating more division?
A: I hear this concern a lot, but when done properly, diversity initiatives recognize our differences while emphasizing our shared humanity. The goal isn't to create division but to acknowledge and value our unique perspectives and experiences as assets rather than obstacles. It's like appreciating that a symphony needs different instruments to create beautiful music - the differences are what make it work!
Q: How can I promote DEI if I'm not in a leadership position?
A: You have more influence than you might think! Everyone can contribute to creating inclusive environments by speaking up against exclusionary behavior, actively seeking out diverse perspectives, being aware of their own biases, and supporting colleagues from underrepresented groups. Small actions like asking a quiet teammate for their thoughts or suggesting diverse candidates for projects can make a big difference.
Q: How do we measure the success of DEI initiatives?
A: Great question! Effective measurement includes both quantitative metrics (representation statistics, promotion rates, pay equity analyses) and qualitative feedback (inclusion surveys, focus groups, exit interviews). The most comprehensive approaches look at both numbers and experiences. After all, having diversity without inclusion doesn't get you very far.
Q: Is DEI only about race and gender?
A: Not at all! While race and gender are important dimensions of diversity, true DEI encompasses many aspects of human difference, including age, disability status, thinking styles, educational background, geographic location, and much more. Remember our grandmother-grandchild example? That's diversity in action without necessarily involving race or gender differences.
Q: How do we address resistance to DEI initiatives?
A: Resistance often stems from misunderstanding or fear. Address concerns by clearly communicating how DEI benefits everyone, providing education about historical inequities, sharing success stories, and emphasizing that expanding opportunity doesn't mean taking anything away from others. Sometimes the most resistant people become your biggest champions once they understand the why behind the what.
