In today’s global marketplace, Cultural Intelligence or Quotient (CQ) is essential for leaders navigating complexity and driving success across diverse markets. Decades ago, Geert Hofstede's foundational work on cultural norms was published and it remains highly relevant today. Yet, many organizations fail to leverage what we have learned about the importance of understanding each others backgrounds, cultures and norms. According to McKinsey, companies with high CQ are 35% more likely to outperform competitors.

In today’s fast-paced business world, authentic leadership is more than a buzzword—it's a critical ingredient to sustainable success. For organizations to reach their goals, authentic leadership isn’t merely a suggestion, it’s a necessity.

Progress, innovation and change are all words that we perceive as positive — and they are, but positive is not to be confused with simple, easy, clear and quick. You don‘t have to be a professional change manager to know that change does not start with agreements, harmony and optimism. Change happens because something is NOT going well, or not well enough, because we are finding a better way to travel, produce a product, communicate, run a country, treat each other or …. save the planet.
