Culturally Intelligence

• Cultural intelligence (CQ) refers to the capabiliity of individuals to function effectively in multicultural contexts.

Earley & Ang (2003)

We tend to be more able to more readily decode the mental states of others in social groups closest to us; thus, relative to those outside the group, we would have an intra-cultural advantage.

Ringleb, Rock, Conser - “NeuroLeadership in 2010”

Cultural Intelligence

Leading with cultural intelligence doesn’t mean being a chameleon to every individual and situation encountered. But it does mean knowing when an empowering style is most necessary as compared to a more directive one…. It requires discipline and hard work to become more adaptable in how we inspire and lead people in an increasingly diverse world. And with that hard work, slowly but surely, you can be a global leader.

Biased followers

• Researchers have found some universally desired leadership traits among followers everywhere, such as competence, trustworthiness, and decisiveness.

• The expectations and stereotypes of followers influence our leadership

• One size does not fit all

Networked

• Key influencer: Mal Lee & Glenn Finger • Key stretch: The internet of things

Collective Intelligence Explains a groups performance on a wide variety of tasks

Factors that were important: – average social sensitivity (the ability to read and understand the

emotion of others) of group members,

– the quality in distribution of conversational turn-taking.

Ringleb, Rock, Conser - “NeuroLeadership in 2010”

Collective intelligence is not strongly correlated with the average of maximum individual intelligence of group members

We need the internet to connect us all together. We need it to introduce us to new ideas and new people and different perspectives and it is not going to do that if it leaves us all isolated in a web of one.
