Absolutely I realize we are an Army of one, but as a leader you have to be aware and excepting of any one soldier’s cultural different and by doing that I can gain the trust of the soldier, and it also allow me to relate to the soldiers.

Leadership cultural belief about age and gender
I don’t believe the cultural belief have any bearing on mental capacity. I believe men and women are somewhat equal in the mental part however physical there is a different.
While in uniform the only gender or culture should be uniform and Army culture.
Age can bring both good and bad traits out of people, gender however does not play a role in how military leadership view soldiers.
With age I would like to think comes maturity and wisdom. With gender I have an old school through process which means chivalry is alive and well. I believe male are more physically dominant but everything else can be match regardless of gender.
Age and gender does not affect overall duties of being a soldier.
I believe in equal treatment regardless of age, gender or cultural belief.
Age is simply the older you are, the wiser you become. As for gender its simple, a woman can do anything a man can do, a sometimes better.
I believe that age and gender has know place in the military.
I believe that most of the younger soldiers, male and female respect the senior leadership.

Do you think age gaps affect your leadership in the military?
No, I believe gender has more of an affect
No
No
No.
No, younger soldiers learn a lot from older soldiers.
Sometimes, especially if there is a junior soldier who is much older than I am, it can make correcting the soldier more difficult.
No
Yes. This is a leadership challenge for me but I will admit I have my own negativity bias towards some younger groups. As I work to remain a flexible and adaptable leader I am certain to overcome this challenge as many leaders before me have had to do.
No

Capstone Presentation Leadership
Does culture of the soldier affect the way they respond to your leadership?
Yes, if a female leader comes up with a decision it will be more likely that it will be analyzed fully versus a male in the same leadership role.
I believe the way they view me as a white man, interferes with my message, intent or motivation. It is as though they see skin color more so, then my intent.
No.
Yes, the millennials generation has an interpretation that things should be given rather than earned. Therefor I have to do more explaining than I’m use too.
Yes, there have been issues with soldier’s believing that leadership can’t relate because they come from a different culture.
Yes, I can assume that because I’m white some soldiers may not think that I can identify with them because we may not come from the same cultural upbringing.
No
Not now. In my opinion, this was a major issue for the military in the past. With training and a diligent focus on improving in this are has yielded a change in the right direction toward cultural sensitivity and recognizing strength in diversity.
Yes, I can not talk to younger soldiers, the same as I talk to soldiers in my age group,

No
No
No
32
Capstone Presentation Leadership
How do you deal with age and cultural differences as a leader?
Training awareness, and situation role play
Try to treat everyone the same.
I try my best to help those with religious belief and practices. Age means nothing .
Listen relate and try to comprise as long as we can complete the mission.
Training, briefing and role play about the difference cultures.
I try to treat all people equally. It can be more difficult to correct a junior soldier who is much older.
By embracing the diversity, and knowing your soldiers is key.
One day and one conversation at a time. Listen more with more focus on what is actually being said by those younger than me. Paying attention to the trends and changes and adapt along the way. Genuine care. Be frank, clear and concise in my communication and hold them accountable. Finally, be consistent, younger soldier pick up on anything that is out of step and use it against you.
I try to be respectful of everyone, regardless of their age or cultural.
