Leading with Cultural Intelligence

What does leading with cultural intelligence mean to you? Depending on your work environment, you may be challenged to integrate diverse international and domestic cultures, different organizational and job function cultures, unique employee strengths, multiple languages, time zones, virtual communication norms, and other rich and complex elements.

Inclusive leaders need to better understand the multilayered dynamics of culture. Cultural intelligence is one lens to assess and improve intercultural competence. Developing your cultural intelligence can positively influence your leadership presence, your ability to communicate effectively, and your team’s engagement and collaboration.

During this webinar we learned: 

• how to highlight the impact of cultural intelligence as an essential leadership capability.
• to develop awareness of key cultural value preferences and introduce the CQ® model components of CQ Drive, CQ Knowledge, CQ Strategy, and CQ Action. 
• to identify some practical ways to develop your cultural intelligence to build stronger teams.
