Cultural Intelligence CQ in the Workplace
Cultural intelligence is recognizing and understanding the patterns that make up other cultures and seeing those patterns from different perspectives, and better adapting to those cultural differences. Cultural Intelligence describes the skills required to recognize these differences. It also describes the ability to adapt to the dynamics of various intercultural exchanges.
In an organization, your ability to function effectively in a culturally diverse setting gauges your level of cultural intelligence. An important attribute of the culturally intelligent is considering the beliefs of participating individuals and bringing that into context when making organizational decisions.
