Week 4 Discussions – Culturally Competent Leadership

As it has been discussed throughout the Rose textbook and online resources, the only way an organization truly becomes culturally proficient is from support from the leadership of the organization. For this week’s discussion, imagine you have recently been promoted as director of a public health or health care organization and a top item on your agenda is leading a culturally competent organization. Reflect and then respond to the following two questions as found on page 173 of the Rose textbook:

“As a health professional what changes in cultural attitudes, behaviors, and values are necessary on my behalf?
How prepared am I and the organization I serve to effectively respond to cultural practices/nuances of patients/clients/customers?”
