Top Highlights
“Cultural intelligence is the capability to function effectively across national, ethnic, and organizational cultures.1 It can be learned by most anyone. Cultural intelligence offers leaders an overall repertoire and perspective that can be applied to myriad cultural situations.” (Page 4)
“Cultural competence is an umbrella term to refer to one’s ability to understand, appreciate, and interact with people from different cultural backgrounds.” (Page 33)
“Marriage and Family Systems: Kinship vs. Nuclear Family” (Page 84)
“Ethnocentrism—evaluating other people and their culture by the standards of our own cultural preferences—is found among people everywhere. Seeing the world in light of our own cultural background and experience is inevitable. But ignoring the impact of ethnocentrism on how we lead is the single greatest obstacle to CQ Knowledge.” (Page 66)
“Cultural intelligence isn’t something that comes automatically based on where someone has worked, studied, or lived. It’s an individual capability. Some have it, some don’t; but anyone can become more culturally intelligent.” (Pages 25–26)
