Leading with Cultural Intelligence – The New Secret to Success By David Livermore, PhD

There is no silver bullet for building and communicating effectively across-diverse cultures. However, if anyone wants to improve their cross-cultural communication skills and just learn about working with other cultures, then this book is an excellent place to start. Learning to work effectively with people from other cultures is a dynamic and fascinating area. This book is an accessible and easy to read guide about how to do this with hard learnt practical examples, research and case studies.

For some , it may be a ‘no brainer’ to learn the obvious surface features, such as initial greetings, whether or not to ‘Kiss, Bow or Shake Hands’ on first meeting, to work effectively with people from other cultures. However while some people still ignore these seemingly simply first steps, it is still essential to ensure that they are not overlooked. While it is essential to be cognisant of and to revisit these from time to time, Leading with Cultural Intelligence: The New Secret to Success offers a useful approach towards establishing and building meaning relationships with people from cultures that are different from your own.
