After reading Diversity is Transforming Leadership my views on leaders from different cultures open more because the excerpt helped me understand that by having different leaders from a diverse culture helps widen unalike leadership styles to follow. Recalling from the text when they explained “shaping leadership into a multicultural form” I believe that is true and she be expected because it I time where we see our nation have different skin tones within a business or organization because it expands the association 10 times more than it was before. The excerpt defined multicultural leadership as “an inclusive approach and philosophy that incorporates the influences, practices, and values of diverse cultures in a respectful and productive manner. Multicultural leadership resonates with many cultures and encourages diverse people to actively engage, contribute, and tap their potential.” My middle school played along with this definition by expanding other culture customs. For an example of how diversity is good for leadership was when I was in high school and our ASB committee was general composed of Caucasians and Philippines. The school felt certain races were left out when events came around because they did input any other race opinions. So the school voluntarily cast votes for additional staff on the ASB board to make it more diverse so that all voices and opinions from different background were heard. This also led to a new diverse leadership because the school soon began doing traditions from Mexican American, to African-American backgrounds by following in their cultural traditions. For instance also, we followed our leader’s tradition celebrating Dead Day from the Mexican background and celebrating Kwanza from the African-American background. This not only shaped and diverse our school but also taught the school different traditions from outside cultures they did not know of and brought unity within one another because everyone enjoyed celebrating the events together. Without unity and acceptance from different cultures will only lead our vision of unity to destruction. “The discrepancy between the vision of democracy and the reality of racial and cultural segregation has caused a continuing tension in U.S. society.” I believe this quote is very true because if no one is coming together as a whole from different backgrounds then that can lead to separation and hate between each other. For example, Whites and Blacks did not meet eye to eye because they viewed the opposite race inferior. There was separation for the two races to dine in and eat and also join together in classrooms. This battle between the two lasted for over a decade and caused tension in the U.S. but activist leaders seen differently that both races can and will soon be together as one positively motivating the nation. And soon with laws formed and races soon reconciling their differences, the United States soon came together by the influences of different leaders. In an ending result I am a supporter of believing that diversity can and do cause transformation just by past experiences and well known political uprisings.
