"Develop a deeper cultural intelligence to thrive in a globalized marketplaceCultural DNA is a manual for successful engagement with cultures around the world. Written by founder and chairman of a global business psychology consultancy, this book guides leaders through the essential globalization management soft skills required to remain relevant in an increasingly connected business world. Readers will learn about the psychological themes at play in the U.S., Latin America, Europe, China, India, The Middle East, and Sub-Saharan Africa, and study the quantitative analysis from an extensive database of leaders.

For the global business leader, Cultural DNA is a handbook for successful exchange"--
