If you are like most people, when you hear the word intelligence, you likely associate it with IQ, or intelligence quotient. Harvard professor Howard Gardner (1993), however, asserted that people possess or acquire multiple types of intelligence. He identified a few of them, including social, emotional, and linguistic intelligence. For this assignment, we will explore another type of intelligence often referred to as CQ: cultural intelligence. By the end of this workshop, not only will you learn what CQ is…but also why it is such an important asset for global leaders.
Upon successful completion of this discussion, you will be able to:
• Explain cultural intelligence and the role it plays in effective global leadership.
