Our work to reach and partner with people of every ethnicity and culture has impact on every layer of our culture.
One of the areas we’ve discussed as leaders is decision making styles. To do this each of us thought through the preferences we bring in and how we can become fluent in other styles (each have strengths and weaknesses). For instance, for our international student workers consensus decision making needs to be a well practiced skill.
An awareness of preferred style and an ability to work in other styles is important for our staff directors but also for our staff as they seek to empower students from every corner of the campus.
