As law firms and their clients spread across the globe into new markets, language skills and cultural intelligence have taken on increasing importance. Soon Ang is an award-winning, world renown expert on cultural intelligence and global leadership. Among other roles, she's the author of definitive books on cultural intelligence, a professor in international management at the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, and the head of the Division of Strategy, Management & Organization at the Nanyang Business School.

So what is cultural intelligence (CQ)? Professor Ang discussed CQ and its importance in a recent interview, "Cultural Intelligence: From New Idea To Must-Have Skill" with the Center for Creative Leadership. 

Look for ways to improve your own CQ – both companies and the law firms that serve them increasingly need leaders (including lawyers!) with strong communication and relationship building skills that cross cultures.
