PART1/an

With a society that is so diverse in its own nature, issues pertaining to cultural diversity are bound to occur in the process of team management and leadership. Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research about cultural diversity. Based on your research and understanding, answer the following questions:

· How does having members of different cultures on a team affect the team’s performance?

· How would you incorporate a person from a culture of your choice into your team, keeping in mind communication differences within your and the chosen culture?

Part 2

Understanding cultural diversity is extremely important specially leaving in Florida. According to a research “As the United States population becomes more diverse and camps employ more international staff, the issue of communicating and interacting effectively with people from other cultures becomes more important” (American Camp Association, 2017). Nurses get to work with many different cultures so it is extremely important that we get learn about different cultures types so we can provide the best care possible.

· How does having members of different cultures on a team affect the team’s performance?

Nurses also get to work with people from other cultures backgrounds which can definitely make a big impact on team performance. The biggest problem in this case will be language barrier which can definitely reduce the effectiveness of communication between team members. I will like to add to the discussion that I am from a different cultural background and do I agree that language barrier can make a big impact on team performance. Several times during my career I had to experience how some team members encounter a hard time trying to understand what I said because of my hard accent. I know this is something that I must work on and I tried to do better every day in order to not to compromise my work or the safety of my patients.

· How would you incorporate a person from a culture of your choice into your team, keeping in mind communication differences within your and the chosen culture?

The biggest thing about incorporating someone from a different culture to the team is that we must understand that they must be treated the same, we must respect the choices and we must take the time to learn more about their cultures and we can positively make them feel welcome in their new environment.
