For my interview this week in Systematic Theology class assignment, I had the privilege to speak with a friend who was an elder leader at the church I used to attend. His name is Pastor Ken Barr, a Bachelor in Psychology at Regent University in 2014. I have known Pastor Ken for over three years of my walk with God. He is also one of the leaders who taught the new disciples of the church, who wanted to learn how to become future disciple leaders. I had the privilege of learning many things through his ministry, even Theology of God’s nature. He was also the one who guided me to explore the study of Christian Ministry in Regent University two years ago. I consider him my Mentor. On Monday November 7, 2016 we set up a meeting on Facebook

“If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress,” said President Barack Obama. In light of these words, it shows that becoming a leader is a process and a learning experience. In the Advanced Leaders Program, I believe that I discovered more essential and important tools on becoming an effective leader in the world. For instance, diversity is a huge asset to creating a friendly and welcoming environment for any team, business, or project. A detrimental environment or anything that neglects a member, can lead to members not feeling comfortable to be themselves or participate in the task. Also, I learned that diversity includes everyone’s special talents and puts them to use

Chapter Eight pushes the leader to see issues as systemic rather than personal(A. G. Ronald Heifetz 2009) . How people interpret situations in an organization must change to promote effective leadership. This chapter gives us signs of unproductive interpretation. For example, in table 8-1, a negative comment is made about the leadership in the company. The comment is geared toward the leadership and not the organizations vision (A. G. Ronald Heifetz 2009) . The example further gives an alternative way to view the concerns of the people. The alternative is to ask questions that will promote a positive outcome and change their thought process.

The way I can relate to this is because I come from a homogenous town in Puerto Rico, I didn’t had much experience be around diversity. When I move ten years ago to Miami is when I realized different cultures. It was a huge transition understanding new cultures, languages, etc. Something that I leaned this week is the importance of understanding and working with diversed other, that even though we come from difference background, and might have a different values, interaction is vital to build effective relationships. I think one of the barriers I faced managing other were communication and learning how to communicate properly, as for instance a word might mean something on the country I come from but mean something completely different in another such as fruit and foods.

In our society, no one likes the feeling of rejection and the thought of being ignored. We all appreciate or value the beauty of acceptance in a phenomenal way. As discussed in the class, one of the ways in which we can internalize and understand people and their cultures better is through developing a diversity consciousness. The benefits of increasing a public organization’s diversity consciousness is life changing and life giving because the process allows employees the opportunity to examine other people’s cultures, to develop interpersonal skills with alike and different people, and to comprehend various viewpoints and be aware of other ideologies in a compelling form.

I have always considered myself as being culturally diverse, as far as understanding others from all walks of life and backgrounds that differ from mine, or what I am accustomed to. However, that does not mean that I am all knowing about one’s life or what their life may entail. Because of this fact, it is easy to assume something about a person based off of common ideas, or beliefs due to their culture. It has also been stated that when we are aware of one’s own communication styles, “we can increase our effectiveness by understanding barriers to valuing diversity” (Shockley-Zalabak, 2015, pg. 171). By definition, valuing diversity is the capability to “understand and appreciate” the differences in individuals to create organizations (Shockley-Zalabak, 2015). This particular term is useful because it helps to put into perspective a situation that I

The importance of understanding cultural, ethnic and gender differences by managers and professionals in a business setting is essential to make the work environment comfortable. In every culture there are basic standards of thinking, and acting and these cultural differences strongly influence workplace values and communication.

People from diverse cultures bring new ways of thinking, creativity and language skills needed to survive in today’s work force. In many

The contemporary workplace environment generally requires sensitivity toward and awareness of the sensibilities and expectations of individuals from a wide range of different cultural backgrounds (Robbins & Judge, 2009). Therefore, virtually all modern business organizations maintain employee training programs that include cultural diversity sensitivity training to ensure that their employees respect

In the global business arena organizations which like to have wider representation and participation generally tend to recruit talented team members in its workforce regardless to their cultural origin.
