CQ Knowledge
CQ Knowledge is the ability to understand how culture influences other people – how they think, how they behave, and what are the similarities and differences across cultures.
The Components of CQ Knowledge

  • Business – how well do you know about business in a particular culture to your own.
  • Language – the language of a particular culture also influences how people think.
  • Leadership – how a good leader looks like when dealing with other cultures. How do you come across with a level of authenticity to make sure your messages are heard?
