"When it comes to building workplace teams, science and objectivity have historically been lacking. Instead, certain “go-to” people seem to be called upon again and again. In the process, new sources of talent may be overlooked, which can negatively impact team outcomes and also have implications for inclusion and diversity. The same issues may also be part of the talent acquisition process, with little to no science behind selecting candidates with both strong skill sets and the potential for an exceptional cultural fit. Artificial intelligence technology may offer a solution."

Self-advocacy is the practice of speaking up for one's own interests and needs, taking a proactive role in life to align with personal goals, and is essential for effective collaboration. It involves understanding one's needs, knowing available resources, and communicating effectively, which can boost self-confidence and improve problem-solving skills. By being a self-advocate, individuals not only empower themselves but also enhance collaborative efforts, ensuring clear communication and mutual understanding of goals and responsibilities, leading to successful partnerships and beneficial outcomes for all involved. #SelfAdvocacy #CollaborationSuccess #Empowerment #EffectiveCommunication #WinWinPartnerships
