Diverse Culture

Top-level management must demonstrate and communicate a vision that includes a diverse culture within the organization. This is most effective when leaders are open-minded and embrace the differences in their workforce. Using appropriate language, both written and verbal, and behaviors to promote a culture of inclusiveness sets the stage from which followers take their cues. Identifying goals and strategies that are outlined in an organization’s plans and objectives demonstrates a culture of inclusion and value of all workers.

A diverse workforce offers many viewpoints that, when guided by an effective leader, yields greater productivity and achievement of goals. Leaders should provide opportunities for workers to be evaluated and promoted equally.
