This week, we're going to explore how to develop and cultivate Cultural Intelligence. This is a critically important competence for business professionals or business leaders in our increasingly globalized business environment. To the last two weeks, we discussed how our world has been shaped by the forces of globalization and how our workplaces and communities would function better if we have awareness of diversity and affinity among ourselves. Over the next two weeks, we're going to explore some practical approaches and tours, and we're going to learn how to consciously develop and cultivate competencies and capabilities that enable us to function effectively in intercultural context. First, this week, we will discuss the importance of culture intelligence, how to identify wise cultural Intelligence, and how to develop and cultivate cultural Intelligence for ourselves. Then, we will go further into this topic next week, discussing how to apply and leverage cultural Intelligence when leading others in your organization. Please consider the topics and readings in this two weeks and a one overarching theme of a culture intelligence. Basically, this week we are focusing on improving self, and in the next week we are going to focus on leading others. By the end of this week, you will be familiar with the concept of cultural intelligence. Understanding the importance of the concept, having knowledge to identify the key trees of cultural intelligence, and being equipped with a particle tours that allow you to develop and cultivate your own cultural Intelligence.
