Cultural Intelligence: CQ: The Competitive Edge for Leaders Crossing Borders: The Competitive Edge for Leaders Crossing Boundaries - Rilegato

Julia Middleton has written a book about something that she and Common Purpose have been quietly practising everywhere they go: Cultural Intelligence, or CQ. To me, it is entirely fitting that Julia should take an idea and explore it with a whole variety of leaders from all over the world. Because, right from the start, Common Purpose has embodied what CQ stands for. - Ron Arculli, Senior Partner, King & Wood Mallesons, Hong Kong, in his Foreword to Cultural Intelligence

In our ever more complex and interconnected world which has no obvious historical parallel, Julia Middleton has developed a breakthrough idea about the importance of Cultural Intelligence in order to both navigate this new world and its contradictions. This book has important implications and raises questions about our current systems for those of us involved in educating and developing our future global citizens. --Rakesh Khurana, Dean, Harvard College

In an age of unprecedented connectedness and shifting certainties, many of us spend our time moving between different worlds without fully adhering to any single cultural identity. This book makes you realise what a gift that is, and how to make the most of it. A must-read for young people entering today's global job-market. - Riz Ahmed

The world is changing. The role of the powerful, intelligent network is greater than ever, but they only really come alive, they only really catch fire, when leadership and Julia's idea of Cultural Intelligence hits them. --Sir Alan Parker, Chairman, Brunswick Group

Julia Middleton's discovery of Cultural Intelligence shockingly confronts us with our daily ignorance. Paradoxically, the more you realise this, the more CQ you have. A must-read for all leaders who care as much about integrity and diversity as impact. - Frank Trümper, Managing Director, Baden-Baden Entrepreneur Talks (BBUG)

You need this book if you feel steeped in your own world and know that you must look outwards. It is not an easy thing to do; it takes both courage and humility to be global when your roots are very local, or to work with bureaucrats if you only have experience in the private sector. This book will help us all wherever we are in the world. --Mr Narayana N.R. Murthy, Executive Chairman, Infosys Technologies Limited
