But it’s impossible to learn the customs and traits of every single culture. David Thomas and Kerr Inkson present a universal set of techniques and people skills that will allow you to adapt quickly to, and thrive in, any cultural environment. You’ll learn to discard your own culturally based assumptions and pay careful attention, in a mindful and creative way, to cues in cross-cultural situations. The authors show how to apply cultural intelligence in a series of specific situations: making decisions; communicating, negotiating, and resolving conflicts; leading and motivating others; and designing, managing, and contributing to multicultural groups and teams.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis extensively revised third edition has been updated with new stories showing cultural intelligence in action. Thomas and Inkson have broadened the focus beyond business to include organizations of all kinds—nonprofits, governments, educational institutions, and more. And they include a reliable and valid measure of cultural intelligence based on a decade of research by an international team of scholars.Contents \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003ePreface \u003c\/i\u003eix \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAcknowledgments \u003c\/i\u003exiii \u003cbr\u003e Living and Working in the Global Village 1 \u2028\u003cbr\u003e Cultural Knowledge 18 \u2028\u003cbr\u003e Mindfulness and Cross-Cultural Skills 40 \u2028\u003cbr\u003e Making Decisions across Cultures 58 \u2028\u003cbr\u003e Communicating and Negotiating across Cultures 76 \u2028\u003cbr\u003e Motivating and Leading across Cultures 98 \u2028\u003cbr\u003e Working with Multicultural Groups and Teams 117 \u2028\u003cbr\u003e Developing Cultural Intelligence in an \u2028Interconnected World 136 \u003cbr\u003e Conclusion: The Essentials of Cultural Intelligence 159 \u2028\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAppendix: Short Form Cultural Intelligence\u2028 Assessment (SFCQ) \u003c\/i\u003e165 \u2028\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eNotes \u003c\/i\u003e169 \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eBibliography \u003c\/i\u003e177 \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eIndex \u003c\/i\u003e187 \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAbout the Authors \u003c\/i\u003e197 \u2028“Coaches all of us on how to live and work more effectively in a world economy that no longer recognizes nor understands borders.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e—Nancy J.
