Josef Newgarden completed a daring pass to the outside of Pato O’Ward on the final lap to win the rain-delayed Indianapolis 500 on Sunday.

Larson nearly lost control of his Arrow McLaren Chevrolet during a four-plus-hour test at Phoenix Raceway on Monday, but the NASCAR star and 2021 Cup Series champion managed to save his Indianapolis 500 ride from hitting the wall at 180 mph. “I went into Indy car turmoil, got a little bit loose into the corner, got to the apex.

These findings are consistent with Ms. Edmondson’s research on the performance advantages of “psychological safety,” the cultural underpinning of inclusion. More diversity is not always better – from a performance standpoint, diversity without the inclusion can actually make things worse. Among other payoffs, organizations that get inclusion right at scale seem to be smarter, more innovative and more stable. It can be tempting to put in place superficial fixes to achieve the optics of inclusion — a primary concern of D.E.I. It is not to scale back investments in inclusion, which would restrict our ability to build healthy, dynamic organizations.
