Global Issues and Innovative Solutions in Healthcare, Culture, and the Environment included a chapter titled, Toward Leadership Agility, by Simon and Marisa in their book.
Abstract:
Companies are often challenged by the cultural diversity of the growing workforce. As a result, organizational leaders should develop culturally agile competencies in order to engage and motivate their employees. Leadership development programs exist to contribute to an individual’s and an organization’s success; however, there is a lack of studies that examine how such programs contribute to the development of cultural agility in leaders. Culturally agile leaders are more inclusive in their hiring practices and more open to encouraging more diversity within their own leadership network. Such leaders value collaboration and understand how culturally-grounded traditions and preferences effect transactions. This chapter addresses the roles of positionality and cultural agility, leadership development programs, and capacity and responsibility in building culturally agile leaders. The chapter also proposes how leaders have the capacity and the responsibility to develop other leaders through a relational leadership approach to promote inclusion and diversity.
