Question

What general steps would you take in leading a task/work group composed of individuals from different cultural backgrounds? How would your steps be different if this group were a counseling/therapy group? Would leading a diverse psychoeducational group require that you do anything different from what you have already proposed?

Answer 1

General steps taken by me in leading a task/work group composed of individuals from different cultural backgrounds would be getting know, exploring each cultural beliefs,patterns, increasing interpersonal communication in group also I would make sure that the cultural backgrounds of the individuals does not come in between the work. If this group were counseling/therapy group steps would not differ much but being empathetic and understanding each individual first then proceeding with the work would differ from the general steps.

no, leading a psychoeduactional group wouldnt require doing different than what have already been proposed because in any team work or group individuals with different qualities, skills,thinking patterns come togather. it depends on the skill of the team leader how effectively he or she handles the team.
