Answer to Question 1

Multiculturalism implies an approach or system that takes more than one culture into account (i.e., Asian, African, European, etc.). Multiculturalism can also refer to a set of subcultures defined by race, ethnicity, gender, age, and so on. Diversity means the existence of different cultures and/or ethnicities within a group or organization.

Answer to Question 2

Answers will vary greatly and the theories students choose to compare to psychodynamic approach to will also vary. Concepts that should be included about psychodynamic approach are
-That it is studying the more unconscious emotions, thoughts and corresponding behaviors that leaders may not have the self-awareness or social-awareness to articulate.
-Behaviors and responses to others and different contexts are not only sometimes subconscious but also based in past experiences, including early childhood caregiver experiences.
-Organizations, and individuals, may have irrational behaviors or make irrational decisions. Reasons for this can include the four clinical paradigms and the focus on the inner theatre, the focus on leader-follower relationships, and the focus on the shadow side of leadership sections of the text.
-Behavioral leadership theories that students would likely use to compare their answers to psychodynamic concepts: Situational, Path-goal, Transformational, Authentic, Servant.
