What is an Open Windows Culture?
While race, ethnicity, age and other ways we may classify ourselves are limited in the ability to change, our culture is different. Culture, defined as what actions you make and why you take them, is ultimately fluid. An Open Windows Culture believes we often shut ourselves away from the ability to grow. If we open our windows, we become more open to understanding what drives other cultures. With that knowledge, we can began to apply that understanding to who we are and, in fact, allow our own culture to be rewritten. An Open Windows Culture means we don’t shut ourselves off from learning from other cultures and we openly participate in sharing our culture with other people. It is a valuable exchange that allows us to revel in our similarities, grow ourselves exponentially, and extend that growth to change the cultures of the groups and organizations we belong to.
