The Context of Cultural Intelligence – A Book Review of David Livermore's Leading with Cultural Intelligence: The New Secret to Success

Emiliano T. Hudtohan

Discipline: Business Management

 

Abstract:

 
Livermore's contribution to global leadership is his pioneering work on cultural intelligence (CQ), a new addition to a growing number of multiple formulations of human intelligences and quotients. By addressing culture as a key factor of leadership in a global context, he now provides a neutral perspective on culture for corporate leaders. This perspective is aligned with the growing trend of understanding other cultures and civilizations with empathy. Leading with Cultural Intelligence: The New Secret to Success may yet facilitate the implementation of global hypernorms proposed in integrative social contract theory and facilitate compliance to global standards of codes of conduct.
