Neural glitch

Can anybody remember the author and title of the book that came out in the last five years that presented the evidence that decisions made by diverse groups were of higher quality than those made by uniform ones? I think it had “diversity” in the title. I can tell you exactly where it is on my bookshelf in Santa Fe, but that doesn’t do me a heluva lot of good.
