Does Inclusive Leadership look, sound and feel the same in different countries around the world? Can an individual be considered an Inclusive Leader in one country and culture and not in another? How does one become an Inclusive Leader across distance, culture and time? Cultural intelligence is the essential ingredient in being an Inclusive Leader across cultures. In this practical and interactive session, we will define CQ, explore its components and discuss how to develop the strategies, drive, knowledge and skills required to be an Inclusive Global Leader.

This workshop will raise the unconscious to a conscious level with a combination of presentation, education and experiential learning. We will discuss what unconscious bias is, how it manifests, why it matters, how it shows up in particular for female and Asian leaders, stereotype threat and identity contingency. We will share some results for females in Asia and Asian leaders from research using the Human Facets’ unconscious bias profile, "Cognizant" and share some strategies for managing projections from Price Global’s Female Leadership and Asian Leadership programs.
