Discussion 2: Cultural Competence in Public Administration
Working with external groups is often a central responsibility of managers and leaders in public and nonprofit organizations. This responsibility takes diplomacy, relationship management skills, and cultural competency to be able to communicate effectively with diverse groups that exist within networked governance structures.

The changing demographics globally, nationally, and regionally, will require public sector and nonprofit organizations to develop more culturally competent managers and leaders. Cultural competency reflects certain cultures, communication, and policies within an organization that enables it to more effectively serve its diverse populations.

For this Discussion, think about how you would communicate with external groups as a leader or manager and how you would demonstrate cultural competence in your communication with external groups.

Two examples of how communicating with external groups is essential to working within a networked structure. Provide an example of how you would demonstrate cultural competence with external groups in order to develop strong collaborative governance structures.

Discuss how your business is going to handle the Corovavius from a preparedness and response point of view. Do you think that having a crisis response plan would help your selected business to better manage the current potential crisis? 

ANSWER IN REGARDS TO THIS BUSINESS BELOW

The plan is meant to prepare Amicus HomeCare to enhance the facility's response to emergencies resulting from accidents, fire, or flooding, among other calamities. Amicus HomeCare is a health provider facility with a specialty in emergency response and provision of first aid services to save the lives of such victims. Even though the facility offers other healthcare services, it is worth noting that Amicus HomeCare specializes more in emergency response. The decision to have this facility was influenced by the increased number of emergency cases in the locality. The fact that the Amicus HomeCare is situated along the highway dictates the increased instances of emergencies resulting from accidents that the hospital responds to every day.  

Amicus appreciates the need to hire reliable, enough, and qualified personnel to enhance the attainment of the facility’s mission and vision statements. Human Resource plays an essential role in enabling a healthcare provider facility to offer quality health services to patients (Khatri et al., 2017). This consideration influenced the management team always to hire qualified and reliable personnel to ensure that there is the provision of quality healthcare services for clients visiting the hospital. The facility has a total of 45 employees specialized in various fields, including nursing, pharmacy, surgery, patient services assistants, doctors, and clinical assistants, among others. All the facility's personnel are expected to offer quality services in their areas of specialization to ensure that clients get the best services.  

The cooperation among senior and junior workers is associated with the success attained by the facility in rendering the services. Since its formation, Amicus always works towards ensuring that clients visiting the facility enjoy the best experience. I am one of the co-owners to the business and the decision to come up with the facility was dictated by the growing desire to provide healthcare services and save lives. Together with the other four co-owners, the personal challenge and wish to save life led to the development of this idea. We always operate in a manner aimed at ensuring that patients visiting the facility acquire quality health services.

Very Important: The arguments and facts presented in your introduction need to be supported by the literature (the papers that you retrieved from your Google scholar search). Any personal opinion cannot be counted as valid as long as it is backed up by scholars’ work (as you find in the academic papers). Be very careful when you make arguments that are your opinions only and cannot be backed by a credible source.

You will write a three to five page paper reflecting on your experience in your team project, the effectiveness of the team, and your performance as a team member. You will provide a two part report.
