its own nature, issues pertaining to cultural diversity are bound to occur in the process of
team management and leadership. Using the South University Online Library or the
Internet, research about cultural diversity. Based on your research and understanding,
answer the following questions:How does having members of different cultures on a team
affect the team’s performance?How would you incorporate a person from a culture of your
choice into your team, keeping in mind communication differences within your and the
chosen culture?Reply to my peersPeer 1Having members of different cultures can improve
the team’s performance by introducing new perspectives and improving patient care.
According to the textbook and the IOM, one skill that allows teams to cooperate effectively
is when team members learn about each other’s backgrounds, values, and expertise
(Murray, 2017). With a diverse team, members will have a wide range of backgrounds.
Understanding each other’s backgrounds improves the group’s cultural competence and
strengthens relationships within the group. Having various cultural backgrounds also
improves the group’s problem-solving skills, as there are more perspectives and viewpoints
to work with. Patient care also improves with better cultural competence because patients
are at less risk of falling victim to unequal care due to disparities and stereotyping.ORDER
NOW FOR ORIGINAL, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSIf I were to incorporate a person from a
culture different from mine, for example, someone of Hispanic descent, I would first assess
their nursing expertise and background and highlight any skills that would be useful for the
team. For example, a team member who speaks Spanish would be particularly useful for
communicating with Spanish-speaking patients. Ultimately, I would be sure to incorporate
them into the team like any member while keeping in mind any cultural traits that would
benefit the team’s performance.ReferencesMurray, E. (2017). Nursing Leadership and

care is essential in creating a culture of respect for patients, clinicians and administrative
staff (Kumra et al., 2020). Cultural diversity is an essential aspect in a team especially when

Unfortunately, there are situations when the cultural differences lead to the isolation of
team members, often making it hard for the team to achieve the desired outcome (Kälin,
2017). When a team is composed of members from different ethnicities, nationalities, and
gender backgrounds, there will be diverse solutions to organizational problems that may
hinder the team members from performing joint tasks.Incorporating an individual from a
different culture into the team requires acknowledging and respecting cultural differences,
getting insight into the strengths of the culture, and how they can be utilized within the
team (Cochran et al., 2017). By focusing on the strengths of the culture it will allow for
positive facets to be incorporated into the team. As a team, we would focus on making sure
that every team member felt comfortable with each other which would help build team
trust. Discussion: With a society that is so diverse in its own natureReferences:Cochran, D.,
