Cultural Intelligence (CQ)
Are you culturally Intelligent?
Cultural Intelligence (CQ) is a critical capability for effective leadership in multi-cultural global world. You don’t need to speak multiple languages or have a Ph.D. in international relations to succeed.
What is CQ?
As globalization has rendered the business environment more complex, dynamic, and competitive, the ability to function effectively in different cultural contexts, called Cultural Intelligence (CQ), has never been more important for organizations.
The world is shrinking. Your success in today’s globalized world requires an ability to adapt to a variety of cultural situations.In recent years have academics discovered a proven way to quantify and develop this ability. It’s called cultural intelligence, or CQ, and it’s defined as the capability to function effectively in a variety of cultural contexts.
During the last couple of years, CQ has started to go main-stream. Growing numbers of leaders in business, government, and nonprofit organizations are realizing the benefits that come from this intelligence-based approach to adapting and working cross-culturally. Knowing what makes groups tick is as important as understanding individuals. Successful managers learn to cope with different national, corporate, and vocational cultures.
