Advocating for resources goes beyond the act of getting a “yes” to acquire more tools, personnel, or funds. It represents a deep commitment to your team’s success. It shows those you lead that you’re someone who understands their challenges, values their efforts, and is willing to champion their needs. Plus, with more resources at your disposal, your team can work more efficiently, innovate more effectively, and deliver higher-quality results, directly contributing to the bottom line.
