13. Debrief: Nonverbal Violations
Did the INTENT of your described
behaviors allow you to display
them more enthusiastically?
What was the IMPACT of the
behaviors of your partner?
Did knowing that “odd” behaviors
may be part of the exercise
help you accept your partner’s
behavior?
In working with people from
various communities, what do
you take away from this
exercise?

38. Whom Do We Reach?
Index Card 1: My leadership strengths and
weaknesses as I perceive them
Index Card 2: Who resonates with my leadership?
Who is comfortable with me, thrives because of my
style, and responds to my feedback? What explicit or
implicit cues tell me this is the case?
Index Card 3: Who does not resonate with my
leadership? Who is uncomfortable with me, struggles
because of my style, and responds poorly to my
feedback? What explicit or implicit cues tell me this is
the case?

40. Cultural Effectiveness
“To be culturally effective doesn’t
mean you are an authority in the
values and beliefs of every culture.
What it means is that you hold a
deep respect for cultural differences
and are eager to learn, and willing to
accept, that there are many ways of
viewing the world”
