Moving into Leadership with Cultural Intelligence (CQ®) for BAME Leaders

A Cultural Intelligence (CQ®) Workshop specifically designed for BAME leadership aspirants to complement ongoing leadership programmes.

About the Masterclass

This programme is designed to help BAME leaders understand how Cultural Intelligence (CQ) can enhance their leadership skills and understand how cultural values and preferences can impact on their leadership style.

Cultural Intelligence (CQ) is defined as the capability to work effectively across diverse cultural contexts. It is an academically validated approach that equips participants with a core set of capabilities and skills. CQ equips leaders to adapt when working across diverse cultural contexts by helping them adapt their leadership styles to engage effectively with people from diverse backgrounds.

CQ offers a unique set of skills and capabilities to BAME leaders/aspiring leaders equipping them to successfully navigate the diverse range of cultures that can sometimes form barriers to progression in their careers. CQ also offers BAME Leaders insight into their own cultural value preferences and helps them to understand how these inform the way they interact with others. It equips participants who complete the programme to be Culturally Intelligent and Inclusive leaders equipped to make diversity and inclusion work for all.
