Product Details
Overview
Your intentions are good. Your results tell a different story.
Leaders today are navigating five generations in the workplace, geopolitical tensions in the boardroom, artificial intelligence reshaping what it means to be human at work, and teams spanning time zones, languages and entirely different assumptions about how to get things done. With all this happening at the same time, most were never trained for any of it. Cultural Intelligence is the skill that closes the gap between what leaders intend and what they deliver. It is practical, measurable and learnable. And in the world we are leading in right now, it is not optional.
Drawing on thirty years of working across three continents and sectors, Ritika Wadhwa makes the case that Cultural Intelligence is no longer a soft skill or a nice-to-have. It is the defining leadership capability of our time. Honest about the difficulty, practical about the solution, and grounded in real stories where this work plays out every day. This is the book she needed when she was starting out. It is the one leaders need right now.
