| Abstract: Unprecedented health and climate threats and their extended effects on social issues, such as immigration, political polarization, health care, and educations generate challenges for leadership across cultural institutions and private organizations. The behavior scientific understanding of the contextual factors, such as the cultural milieu affecting the cultural behaviors, may play an important role in the process of decision making by the leaders in profit and no-profit organizations. This perspective focuses on the behaviors of verbally sophisticated consumers interacting with the many aggregate products of cultural entities as well as the verbal contexts within which members of organized groups operate. In that regard, understanding the viewpoints, or subjectivities, shared among the community members requires the adoption and development of appropriate measurement systems. The panelists will discuss assessment technologies such as the Q Methodology and digital networks within the conceptual framework of the culturo-behavioral science as guiding platforms for leadership decision-making and value-based governance. |
