Diverse teams have been proven to be better at problem-solving and decision-making for several reasons. First, they bring many different perspectives to the table. Second, they rely more on facts and use those facts to substantiate their positions. What is even more interesting is that, according to the Scientific American article How Diversity Makes Us Smarter, simply being around people who are different from us

makes more creative, diligent, and harder-working.
