Like a high level of emotional intelligence, developing a strong cultural competency is crucial in your professional role as a manager, especially in today’s global environment. Earley & Mosakowski (2004) point out that high cultural competency, or intelligence, helps to identify “what makes us human and at the same time what makes each of us different from one another.” Having this skill will play a large role in successful management.
