Cultural Intelligence, or cross-cultural competence, is an essential skill for today’s global businesses. Embedded into the way we lead, organise and collaborate – it is a part of our daily work. Lacking advanced cultural competence leads to missed opportunities, failed deals, misjudgement of talent capabilities at the organisational level and derailed careers at the personal level.

In this June 12th session lead by Dr. Zsuzsanna Tungli, Gravista Leaders will gain fresh perspectives into the 3+1 most essential cultural differences between Asia and the West, and discuss how these impact every-day work interactions in terms of:
– direct and indirect communication;
– different approaches to hierarchy;
– use of silence in communication; and
– the +1, prioritising tasks or relationships.
