Core Competencies Of An Effective Cross-Cultural Manager
Cross-cultural management broadly involves handling workforce teams comprised of people of diverse backgrounds. Though usually considered ethnocentric, as we have discovered, one's "culture" is an amalgamation of the individuals, groups, environments and experiences that have shaped thoughts, perceptions, values, and beliefs. To manage diversity, organizations take action through formal and informal structures that are designed to create greater inclusion of employees. This effort includes implementation of deliberate policies and programs that support an inclusive workplace strategy. In addition, managers and leaders of diverse teams must be developed to be culturally competent as well as educated on laws and precedents related to workplace discrimination and appropriateness.

American Literature
PROMPT: This week we hear from multiple Americans--Smith, Powhatan, "King Philip", and Winthrop.

A Place To Eat Essay
Everyone, it seems, has a favorite place to eat. For some, it is a fast-food restaurant like McDonald's, Burger King or Taco Bell.

It may be a restaurant that serves large portions, like Hometown Buffet or Claim-Jumpers, or that serves specialized food like Red Lobster or Ruth's Chris Steak House. It may be a fancy restaurant like l'Orange or a small, independently-owned caf. It may be a place such as Benihana's known for its atmosphere, or it may be eating at home or a friend or relative's house.
