Cultural Competence

/42 Comments/in /by

Write a paper in which you reflect on your own cultural competence and analyze areas where you could improve your cultural diversity skills. In addition, analyze the relationship among culture, leadership, and teamwork and explore the ways communication can be muddled due to cultural differences. The paper should be a minimum of seven pages in length.

Introduction

Our country is one of the most culturally diverse nations in the world. Diversity refers to the idea that people are different based on age, race, gender, marital status, lifestyle, religion, and other factors (Daft, 2018). Health care leaders must be able to work with colleagues, followers, patients, and any internal or external stakeholder different from themselves. Leaders must recognize that everyone, regardless of their background, has something to contribute.

You will be required to explore cultural intelligence (CQ) in this assessment. Cultural intelligence refers to the idea that an individual can successfully read or interpret unfamiliar situations and verbal and non-verbal communication and respond appropriately (Daft, 2018).

Physicians, nurses, staff, and patients come from all walks of life. In health care, many different countries, cultures, religions, and more are encountered daily. Effective leaders are skilled at managing communication with a range of different people.

Preparation

As a health care leader, you will work with people from different countries, different backgrounds, and with different beliefs. It is important that you respect and understand patients, employees, physicians, and all stakeholders who are different from you. Meanwhile, you must operate in an environment of dynamic change while striving to exceed the standards of care that patients deserve.

Before you begin this assessment, complete the Culture, Diversity, and Out-Groups in Leadership media activity.
