Narrative 12-1
Unilever has operations in 150 countries. Recently, Unilever took 100 of these top managers on a jungle retreat to Costa Rica. To the dismay of Unilever's chair, no women were in the group. Upon investigation, he learned that only one woman had even been invited. As the retreat progressed, its participants commented on the richness of diversity in nature and how for anything to grow, there needs to be diversity.

They decided to avoid setting numerical targets because they encourage positive discrimination and instead examined recruitment and promotion practices.
