Question:

Bovender's efforts represent one step forward regarding support for diversity in healthcare settings. Conversely, findings from a 2017 management study indicate we may also be taking one step back. Surveying 1,000 top management executives from large and mid-sized US companies with sales of more than $50 million, researchers found that more top white male executives provided less task-related help to their executive colleagues and reduced recommendations for them for career-advancing positions after a woman or person of color was appointed CEO (McDonald, Keeves, and Westphal 2017). In addition, the presence of a woman or racial minority as CEO was found to discourage white male executives from serving as mentors or giving work-related help to female and racial-minority colleagues (McDonald, Keeves, and Westphal 2017). Researcher James Westphal, a finance professor at the University of Michigan, proposed that the “…theory is that the appointment of minority CEOs triggers biases” (Berman 2018). Discuss this study in light of what you have learned about the concept of cultural adaptability. How do the studies’ findings sync (or not) with positions taken by organizations such as ACHE regarding diversity?
