Quote
When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid -- Audre Lorde

Culturally fluent leadership is the ability to effectively work with and for diverse customers towards a shared vision. Bill Russell was culturally fluent as he led his Boston Celtics to 11 championships in 13 years as a player and player-coach. His book, “Russell Rules,” identifies 11 leadership lessons. This highly interactive workshop will explore how team leaders can implement several of these lessons in their unique environments. Workshops designed for team leaders to apply these principles.
 

Culturally Fluent Leaders:

  • Listen to the interests and ambitions of each team member

  • Help team members focus on “team ego” and team success

  • Enable team members to answer the WIFM question (What’s In it For Me?) in a win/win way

  • Establish and implement clear decision making processes

  • Identify and address cross-cultural conflicts promptly and fairly

​The BASK Framework

 

Behaviors Actions taken by individuals, teams and organizations informed by Awareness, Skills and Knowledge are more likely to be culturally effective.

​

Awareness is the examination and in-depth exploration of one’s own cultural background.
​

Skill is the ability to collect relevant cultural data regarding the current situation.
 

Knowledge is the process of seeking and obtaining a sound educational foundation about diverse cultural and ethnic groups.
