LED 520 TUI Cultural Intelligence on Leadership Reflection

Module 4 – CaseLEGAL AND ETHICAL IMPLICATIONS OF CROSSCULTURAL LEADERSHIP
Case Assignment
In this module, you will be completing a post-experience write-up.
This paper should be about 6 pages long. The purpose of this writeup is to reflect on the experience as specifically related to the
concepts in this course: CQ, the components of CQ, and CQ
development. It is important to fully describe both your successes
and failures at building CQ capacity. The ability to recognize failure
can provide valuable insights and growth. If developing one
component of CQ is more difficult for you than others, it is not
unusual. For example, you may understand cultural differences
(cognitive) and be highly motivated to learn to lead in cross-cultural
environments (motivation), but find yourself unable to change your
leadership style to fit the cultural circumstances (action). Perfection
is not the goal of this course—that can take years of practice. What
is a more realistic goal is to become more aware of your strengths
and weaknesses and make progress toward becoming more
culturally competent by building on your strengths and shoring up
your weaknesses.
Assignment Expectations
Your post-experience write-up should include the following:
1. Assess the quality of the cultural experience as related to the assignment
expectations (see Module 2)
2. Provide a rich qualitative description of the cultural experience.
3. Clearly and accurately relate your experience to the key concepts of the
course:
• Cognitive (CQ Knowledge): awareness, self-awareness, knowledge
• Motivation (CQ Drive): perseverance related to cultural interaction
• Metacognitive (CQ Strategy): active control over thinking and using cultural
knowledge (e.g., questioning assumptions and/or stereotypes)
• Action (CQ Action): ability to adjust or adapt behavior
DISCUSION QUESTIONS
1. Assess your effectiveness in personally applying CQ concepts (honest and
critical analysis of your strengths and weaknesses, successes and
difficulties).
2. Describe how what you learned through this exercise can improve your
performance as a leader.
3. Use professional-quality writing.
