Simply put, Culturally Responsive Leadership means that you can relate to and have empathy for people you perceive as “like” and those you perceive as “different” from you. This isn’t obvious or easy. It means you actively do the work to engage team members, understand deep culture, and build trust.
When this work is done consistently, both the leader and the team member are socially and emotionally invested in the work. From here, building the knowledge and skills necessary to shift attitudes and achieve goals is far easier than it would be otherwise.
What’s more, team members become more empathetic, establish, and maintain positive relationships and make healthier and more effective choices independently.
Culturally Responsive Leadership fosters self-awareness, agency, independence, and self-esteem which significantly contribute to your business or hospital’s success.
