BUS 448 - Emotional & Cltrl Intelligence

Unit(s): 4

Centers on how working effectively with others requires more than industry specific skills and IQ. Emotional Intelligence (EQ) and cultural intelligence (CQ) are also necessary for successful careers. Accordingly, this course is divided into two basic components: 1) increasing emotional intelligence through mindfulness practices and self-awareness exercises and 2) cross-cultural experiential exercises to enhance cross-cultural competencies through heightened awareness of cultural differences. Emphasis is placed on the behaviors of people and groups in organizations and how understanding these make us more effective in the globally interconnected workplace. Special attention is given to leadership self-development and its applicability to interpersonal, organizational, and global contexts.
