OURCULTURALLYINTELLIGENTAPPROACH

Culturally Intelligent (or Integrated) leadership, or CI, is the ability to understand how we feel, think, and act when engaging across cultural settings, in multicultural situations, and with  people across diverse social and cultural identities

Cultivating Culturally Intelligent (or CI) behaviors in individuals and across organizations is essential to sustaining healthy workplace environments. 

 

CITC's Culturally Intelligent model is an original, research-based and data-informed approach to fostering organizational change. Culture, broadly defined, incorporates not just race, ethnic heritage, and nationality, but also age, ability, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, religion, and background. CI captures capabilities contained within emotional intelligence (EI) for behavioral adaptation across cultures. Because EI often is culturally bound, CI becomes essential in helping diverse teams succeed. 

We believe our CI Model promotes both personal and organizational integration, which allows individuals to lead from a sense of wholeness so they can communicate, collaborate, and achieve common goals with each other. If every member of an organization strives to be an integrated person, they will collectively co-create a workplace that is known for its cultural humility and human-centeredness.

 

Let's bring humanity back to the workplace together.  

 

CITC facilitators guide participants in increasing Cultural Openness, Awareness, and Responsiveness. Through our multifaceted facilitations, individuals receive a holistic approach to understanding themselves so they can respond insightfully to people from new and diverse cultures with socio-emotional intelligence. These capabilities are guided by the leadership skills of curiosity, empathy, and compassion
