Klappentext

"In an age marked by increasing polarization, Digital, Diverse & Divided shows how we can build cultural intelligence and get along with people who are different from us. Our divides are destroying us: red versus blue, Black versus White, globalists versus nationalists, agnostics versus Christians. Drawing on seminal research on social identity and cultural intelligence, this book explains our impulse to divide people into "us" versus "them" and reveals how we can tackle tribalism, confront racism, and develop a common vision for the future. In Digital, Diverse & Divided, David Livermore outlines the four competencies of Cultural Intelligence (CQ): Motivation (CQ Drive); Cognition (CQ Knowledge); Metacognition (CQ Strategy); Behavior (CQ Action). He shows how we can apply this foundation to a wide range of intercultural situations. This book includes personal anecdotes, stories from around the world, and references to the work of prominent authors, psychologists, thinkers, and economists. Livermore examines different factors-place, race, gender, religious beliefs, and politics-that shape how we see the world and offers a way for us to reclaim our shared humanity"--

Zusammenfassung
“In times like these, it’s easy to throw up our hands and conclude that we just can’t get along. But Livermore shows how we can do better.” —Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Drive

The divides between us seem to keep growing no matter the issue—politics, race relations, religion, and the list goes on. How can we bridge our divides without forcing everyone to conform to the same thinking and behavior?

Cultural intelligence, a scientific model originally designed for working with people from different cultures, is ideally suited to bridge our polarizing differences. Here, David Livermore, the leading expert in the field, teaches us how to use the method he has taught global executives and foreign diplomats to navigate difficult conversations with anyone. Livermore uses his renowned work in cultural intelligence to address such everyday challenges as:

• How should I respond to a racist comment?
• What should I do when someone is completely closed to a different perspective?
• How can I persuade polarized groups to move beyond “agree to disagree”?

• How do I handle the emotional fatigue that comes with polarizing conversations and relationships?
  Digital, Diverse & Divided combines groundbreaking research, riveting stories, and proven practical strategies to build a more culturally intelligent—and less stressful—world.

  “What can each of us do to address what feels like an intractable problem in our organizations and communities—polarization? David Livermore shares what he has learned from his own research and journey about what it takes to develop cultural intelligence.” —Linda A. Hill, PhD, Professor, Harvard Business School, and coauthor of Collective Genius
