Culture and Leadership
\nAbout nine cultural dimensions have been concerning culture and leadership. The dimensions include power distance. I awarded the dimension score of 2 as people always question their leaders if they do not agree with some of their decisions. Similarly, power is shared throughout society. Another dimension is uncertainty avoidance. I awarded this dimension a score of 7 because consistency and orderliness are highly stressed in the community. Next is assertiveness. The dimension was awarded a score of 7 because people in the society are generally tough and assertive. Another dimension is gender egalitarianism. It is awarded a score of 2 because both boys and girls are encouraged to take higher education. In-group collectivism is another cultural dimension. It was awarded a score of 7 since children take pride in the performance of individual parents. The remaining dimensions include institutional collectivism, performance orientation, future orientation, and human orientation (Northouse, 2013). The scores were awarded 1, 7, 5, and 6, respectively. The dimensions demonstrate how ineffective and effective leadership can be differentiated in the world (Northouse, 2013). The cultural dimensions aim at grouping the believes and values of a society (Den Hartog & Dickson, 2012). These values promote a culture centered on equity and inclusiveness.
\nSome of the actions I will take to ensure that I am sensitive to the social dimensions include eliminating discriminatory practices and laws. Many practices are performed in organizations that discriminate against people of different cultures (DESA, 2019). The discriminatory practices within the organization will be identified and then amended or eliminated. The action will enhance equality in the organization. Second, I will try to transform the minds of the organization’s employees. Some employees always believe that their cultures are better and superior to others. For instance, the Caucasians always believe that their culture is superior to African Americans (Padilla, 2012). The action will be implemented by mentoring individuals who look down upon themselves. Also, it can be implemented by encouraging cultural equality. Finally, I will set inclusive social goals. The organizational goals will be those that include all employees despite their culture and color.<\/p>\n
