A focus on Individual differences lends itself to training

“Strategies consistent with the individual differences approach focus on developing individual competencies through training and mentoring”

A focus on Group differences lends itself to systemic solutions

“the goal is to redress and/or eliminate systemic advantages and inequality for members of historically disadvantaged groups”

How you’re criticised will reveal other people’s preferences

“Someone who dislikes training focused on individuals as a solution, may believe that there are systemic issues that individual training can’t fix.”
