According to "The Guardian", he has argued that, "the best managers are gay - because they understand diversity and value individuality, they can bring a team together." Moreover, his research shows that under openly gay managers, employees feel more engaged and they are more productive. Additionally, he has shown that few LGBT executives come out of the closet due to shareholder pressure. He adds that many gay executives eschew corporate discrimination by embracing entrepreneurship, thus becoming their own bosses.
