Today we have @TrudiStevens111 taking the class through this to deal with culturally sensitive communities #USAWACLP #uiclp

We need to create a person centered approach, we need to create a work culture that grows people and the community around us.

We are in a business of change
@TrudiStevens111 #Usawaclp #uiclp

In any community there are custodians and gatekeepers and then we have some people who will be affected positively and negatively with your work of change. Dealing with those dynamics is what we need to do...

When you are a change maker in any community, you are definitely speaking to or against rituals, routines and habits in any community.

Leading in Culturally Sensitively Communities

Power and influence, we need to recognize where is lays. At times it’s not the CEO who has the power but the secretary of the CEO.

Control systems are important in dealing with different cultures and people @TrudiStevens111 #usawaclp #uiclp

In the culture that you are dealing with what are some of the norms and truths that are affected with the change you are bringing.

Do you think I that traditional cultures can do exist with a new culture
@trudistevens111 #usawaclp #uiclp

If you introduce a new culture where there is a tradition culture is still maintained.

Your story, rituals & routines need to makes sure they impact positively the power structure, organization structure

Leading in cultural sensitive environments might in some places mean introducing new better culture that will merge with the traditional culture...
@Trudistevens111 #usawaclp #uiclp

How do you handle or draw the line when it comes to setting new culture and systems in an already culture, leaving behind what you think is bad part of the old culture, what you think is bad about the culture is actually seen and held as an amazing part of the culture.

Kindness and common sense will break down a lot of barriers
