Summary of Session: Gay Days Daze - A Cultural Competency Case Study
Managers must build cultural competency skills no matter the industry because culturally laden problems can arise from the most basic business decisions.  When they do, leaders are often blind-sided. Centered around values, these flash-points are often highly emotionally charged with no clear right or wrong direction.  Participants will practice decision making in the context of significant value differences, explore empathy, ambiguity and how their cultural values affect their leadership style.
 
Learning objectives of the session:
Increase your ability to understand your own cultural frame of reference, shift cultural frames of reference, analyze deep, cultural value conflicts, practice decision making in the context of significant value differences.
