The 6 Stages of Cultural Mastery: A Roadmap for Leaders in a Culturally Complex World, CL

BY RICARDO GONZALEZ

Becoming a cultural master is a skill that all leaders in today's culturally complex world must develop. On one hand, being a cultural master will allow leaders to create much more positive, productive, and profitable environments. On the other hand, leaders must insulate themselves against unnecessary cultural missteps or public statements that have the potential to derail their career or company.  In The Six Stages of Cultural Mastery, Ricardo González outlines the steps to follow in order to master any culture. The Six Stages are equally balanced between the hand and the heart: three are proactive in nature and three are emotive. To be properly prepared to effect significant external transformation, leaders must first be transformed from the inside out. Until a leader is transformed internally, the ability to create outward change is greatly diminished. The principles in this book are timeless. They will be effective in any time period and in all relational situations. The Six Stages of Cultural Mastery will help leaders significantly increase their CQ (Cultural Quotient) and prepare them to lead peoples of diverse cultures in transformative ways.
