Abstract

In contemporary multicultural societies, understanding how culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) individuals navigate organisational and educational contexts is crucial for fostering inclusive leadership. This article provides a comprehensive theoretical discussion, encompassing the nature of culture, individual acculturation strategies, acculturation processes, and the interplay between organisational culture and leadership acculturation in schools, to illuminate the challenges and opportunities faced by CALD middle-level leaders in school contexts across Australia.
