solved IntroductionThe United States is one of the most culturally diverse

IntroductionThe United States 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, 2015). Health care leaders must be able to work with colleagues, followers, patients, and any internal or external stakeholder different from them. Leaders must recognize that everyone, regardless of their background, have 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, 2015).As a health care leader, you will work with people from different countries, different backgrounds, and different beliefs. It is important that you respect and understand people (patients, employees, physicians, and all stakeholders) who are different from you while operating in an environment of dynamic change and thus exceed the standards of care that patients deserve. Being aware of these cultural differences is one of the first steps to becoming an inclusive leader.ReferenceDaft, R. L. (2015). The leadership experience (6th ed.).
