If our motivations are driven by a genuine desire for diversity and inclusion, we are more likely to actively promote and support diversity initiatives. Similarly, our expectations shape our actions and behaviors towards diverse individuals. If we have low expectations or biased beliefs, it can hinder our ability to effectively manage diversity and create a fair and inclusive workplace.
