CQ: The Most Important Number You Don’t Know

David_LivermoreeditDavid Livermore, cross-cultural biz expert, explains that 90% of leading executives from 68 countries identify cross-cultural leadership as a top management challenge for the next century.

70% of international ventures fail because of cultural differences. But research indicates your cross-cultural success is largely pinned upon one primary factor: Your Cultural Intelligence Quotient (CQ)

CQ is the capability to function effectively in a variety of national, ethnic, and organizational cultures. It’s a form of intelligence you can enhance through experience and training. Academic researchers have been testing cultural intelligence across 30 countries for nearly a decade.

CQ is similar to IQ and EQ in that it measures a set of capabilities necessary to be successful, both personally and professionally. But it’s unique in that it focuses on the skills needed to succeed in international settings as well as in multicultural contexts domestically. Each individual has a measurable CQ score, which can be assessed and enhanced.
