Culture: The Six Dimensions Of A Leader

Culture is a huge part of the organization that anyone works for either if it’s a Global corporation or just the different gender or race that you work with. It can be challenging yet rewarding to have different culture within the organization and outside of it but it leads to great leadership with clients and how you work with everyone in the company. Not everyone is alike and we all have different values, but when working with different cultures you need to study it and respect it especially in the organization you work for if it could be a global organization. With the six dimensions that we will get more into detail with have views on how we work as a society and how we defer from others in different societies. I think with this you realize …show more content…
The first one would be power distance, which I feel that a lot of leaders play in this roll and how they handle the work load between their employees. You know as a leader you have the power to push others that you know who can do the job, but then you have to look at those that are not preforming the same work load as one individual.

It is about creating a culture that values differences for the benefit of society, individuals and organizations.” I think that is very true as society most of us learn from everyone culture and benefit from it. I value everyone’s culture and try to learn from others as I incorporate it with my leadership. I know that we all value diversity in some way and especially for example would be different food cultures that we inherit. The bad part to this is that it can also lead to discrimination and how you treat others and a how others treating a person within the organization. Working for a global organization you always assume that every country works the same as our culture here in the United States and some times that is true but most of the time it is not. Stated in a article by Brady and Ratinoff “Ultimately, attracting and retaining diverse talent matters to all of us “Making Diversity Work” is for business leaders who see these changes on the horizon and looking for ways to get ahead.” We all want to get ahead but as a leader we
