Introduction
Our country is one of the most culturally diverse nations in the world. Diversity refers to the idea that people are different based on age, race, gender, marital status, lifestyle, religion, and other factors (Daft, 2018). Health care leaders must be able to work with colleagues, followers, patients, and any internal or external stakeholder different from themselves. Leaders must recognize that everyone, regardless of their background, has something to contribute.
You will be required to explore cultural intelligence (CQ) in this assessment. Cultural intelligence refers to the idea that an individual can successfully read or interpret unfamiliar situations and verbal and non-verbal communication and respond appropriately (Daft, 2018).
Physicians, nurses, staff, and patients come from all walks of life. In health care, many different countries, cultures, religions, and more are encountered daily. Effective leaders are skilled at managing communication with a range of different people.

Then respond to the following questions:
What are some advantages of working with a GUI? Give an example of when a GUI is a better fit for the task.
