In recent years, DEI; Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion—has become a dominant focus in workplaces.
But well-intentioned as it may be, does it always drive progress?
In this bold exploration, Dr. Ken Keis breaks down why MEI; Merit, Excellence, and Intelligence, is a stronger, more effective foundation for success:
• Merit ensures that skills, effort, and capability are recognized and rewarded.
• Excellence drives innovation and continuous improvement.
• Intelligence anchors decisions in critical thinking and evidence.
When organizations prioritize MEI, they foster genuine performance, growth, and fulfillment.
In contrast, a focus on appearance over ability can erode standards, hinder motivation, and even lead to turnover of top talent.
For anyone serious about sustainable success, organizational, personal, or societal—this article is essential reading.
