Abstract
ABSTRACTLeadership sets the tone in organizations. Even with a positive view on race by leaders, powerful hidden biases and blind spots continue to persist among professionals and their organizations. Few models for organizational change are geared towards addressing institutional racism. Interpersonal and institutional cultural responsiveness can improve community engagement, work place culture, and strengthen organizations. Using the social work profession as an exemplar, this paper describes barriers to organizational and institutional change. The roles of organizational leadership and culture are discussed. Recommendations for addressing and establishing organizational change consistent with the values of inclusion and cultural diversity are provided.
