The criteria that individuals use to judge effective leadership varies across cultures. Participative leadership is viewed positively in the West, whereas in others parts of the world the most effective leaders are paternalistic. In some societies, leadership is assertive and dominant, whereas in other societies, leadership is compassionate and caring. Some cultures view power and privileges negatively, whereas status differentials are revered in other cultures. Effective global leadership is not a static set of qualities and behaviours, but it involves flexibility across cultural settings to meet the varied expectations of followers. Culturally intelligent leaders are better at inspiring and leading diverse workforces. They manage varied worldviews to articulate a shared vision across the organisation. Leaders with high cultural intelligence are also more inclusive. They promote and model the sharing and integration of diverse knowledge, perspectives and experience. Inclusion drives innovation and helps the organisation to stay relevant amid rapid changes across diverse markets. Leaders with high CQ have a global mindset; they scan their external environments for relevant and unbiased information. CQ improves and speeds up problem-solving, decision-making and risk assessments in ambiguous, complex and volatile environment.
