Developing Skills and Characteristics of a Culturally Competent Manager (Leader)

To create a culturally competent organization one must consider internal and external objectives which is a continual process. This is not only a crucial component in developing skills and characteristics of a culturally competent leader; but it must be embraced as an ongoing process of professional and personal development.

Challenging and perhaps altering attitudes and opinions of those different from ourselves as well as identifying our own biases, is not an easy task.

This discussion assignment will allow you to take first steps toward self-awareness. Take a moment and share your responses to the following questions:

• When did you first become aware that people were different racially or ethnically?
• When did you first become aware of yourself as a member of a racial or ethnic group?
• When were you first made aware of people being treated differently because of their race or ethnicity?

Answer 1

Ans-

1)Race means the grouping of people in accordance to height, weight,social qualities.

Race is defined as “a category of humankind that shares certain distinctive physical traits.” The term ethnicities is more broadly defined as “large groups of people classed according to common racial, national, tribal, religious, linguistic, or cultural origin.

when I see school addmission are according to cast.also people having issue of white and black colour, everybody fight for his religion then I understand we all are different racially and ethically.

2)when I am attained the speaker speeches on unity and similarities in individual,I ll aware of myself about ethically and recially.

Every participant in your effort has his or her own understanding of the world and how it works. The European American residents in the neighborhood don't understand why the new immigrants from Guatemala have to stand at the street corner to get work (they are commonly referred to as day laborers). They think it is because they are either "illegal" or too lazy to find full-time jobs. Part of the problem is that the residents have not had the opportunity to debunk these stereotypes through direct interaction and contact with the day laborers and to hear their stories.

3)When I was little, maybe 5 old, my dad told me about a girl he dated while stationed in Biloxi, Mississippi with the Army in the 1950s, before he met my mom. She was from a wealthy family, old Southern money, he said.

One summer Sunday after Mass, he set out on foot from town to visit with her, sweltering in the heat. Soon a man pulled over and offered him a lift — a black man. My dad, a northerner and never the least racist, accepted it gratefully.

When they got to her house she was on the porch, he told me, and when she saw him get out of the car, she lost it. Her mother came out and asked what had happened.

“Mama,” she said, “he took a ride from a Negro man.”

Per my dad, her mother tried to calm her down, explaining that he was from up north, where things were different, but she was having none of it.

“But Mama — he took a ride from a Negro man!”

She made her mother send him away, and she never spoke to him again.

As a young child hearing that story I was terribly confused, and I remember asking him why the girl was so upset. This man had done him a kindness, after all.

“Because he was black,” he said.

“So? He was nice to you.”

He tried to explain it to me, but I didn't really get it. I guess I was too young. I just remember thinking that girl was a real jerk.

That was the first time I found out about racially and ethically different.
