Cultural Intelligence Pedagogy In Management Education: Nurturing Diversity-Responsive Leaders

Abstract

This research delves into the implementation and impact of Cultural Intelligence (CQ) pedagogy in the realm of Management Education. As organizations increasingly become diverse, the need for adept and adaptable leaders capable of navigating and leveraging this diversity is paramount. This study explores the development and application of a pedagogical framework aimed at nurturing diversity-responsive leaders by enhancing their cultural intelligence. Employing a mixed-method approach, this research investigates the efficacy of a tailored CQ curriculum in a management education setting. The findings underscore the significant role of cultural intelligence in shaping adaptive leadership and fostering a more inclusive and culturally astute managerial workforce. Through a synthesis of theoretical foundations and empirical data, this research contributes to the discourse on learner diversity and identities within the context of management education, shedding light on the transformative potential of a culturally intelligent pedagogical approach.
