Answer to Question 1

Cultural values affect how the learning process is implemented, how feedback is provided, and the setting in which learning and development can be optimized. Leader development must therefore be considered within the cultural context. For women and other minorities, these experiences may be unique. To resolve this issue, leader development should include the following:
 Provide opportunity to participate in single-identity development programs that reinforce validation, provide role models and networking, and can make available relevant content to address specific concerns
 Encourage developmental relationships through formal and informal organizational programs to ensure that women and minorities have access to powerful coaches and mentors who are both similar to and different from them
 Support development of networks that can help women and minorities in their career development process
Student examples may vary.
