What's Your CQ and Why Should you Care?

You've heard about IQ and EQ. But, what's your CQ? CQ, or Cultural Intelligence, is more than just a kitschy catch phrase for cultural competence.  It's a fresh, new approach to leading in our multicultural, globalized world.  Cultural Intelligence is defined as the capability to function effectively across national, ethnic and organizational cultures.  Research demonstrates a leader's CQ may easily be the single greatest difference between thriving in the 21st century world and becoming obsolete.
