Question

There are numerous leadership initiatives that can contribute to achieving cultural diversity. Select a recent article from current events (past 90 days) that demonstrates at least one of these initiatives. Write a well-written presentation on this topic by providing a paragraph summarizing the primary components of the article and a second paragraph presenting your analysis of the article (Do you agree/disagree? Is it congruent with our text? Why/why not? Etc.). Be certain to provide a complete reference (APA) for the selected article

Explanation / Answer

There are various leadership initiatives that can be taken to achieve cultural diversity. They are conducting diversity training, establishing minority recruitment and retention programs and holding managers responsible and accountable for achieving diversity in the workplace. The article talks about the initiative of holding managers, leaders and hiring agencies responsible and accountable for achieving cultural diversity. This initiative will help in the development of an organizational culture that supports diversity.

I agree with the thoughts presented in the article. Holding managers accountable and responsible for achieving diversity is a strong  leadership initiative and is bound to show positive outcomes. When the goal and objective of achieving diversity is tied and linked to manager's performance appraisals (and thus affecting their compensation), then cultural diversity will be easily and willingly achieved.
