CULTURAL DIMENSIONS

What is CQ?

CQ is the ability to work with the different people who belongs to different cultures. This is one of the

important quality of a project manager because he has to manage different people in a team.

Why CQ is important in the organization?

CQ is very important in the project environment because in a project there are many people of different culture

so as a good project manager you have to know that what is in their culture? what their likes and dislikes? so

these things are important for every project manager. For example, project management is international field, so

in future a person can get a chance to go to different country for a project. so at that time, a person should know

about that country's culture for manage a project. This will help him to manage a project in more efficient way.

If you know about your workers culture and you are joining them in their festivals then it will motivate them to

do work.

What is your CQ?

My CQ is:

Cognitive CQ:3

Physical CQ:4

emotional CQ: 3.5

Average CQ: 3.5

How have you used your CQ in the past?

yes, I have used my CQ in the past. When I was in India, I did not get a chance to use my CQ. But in Canada, I

got this chance at my workplace. I was worked in Amazon and my manager went for meeting and tell me to see

the work. In my team, there are people from south India and Phillipine people. At that time, I know about some

things about south Indian culture but did not know about phillipine people. so its easy to manage south Indian

than phillipine people for me. At that time, I learnt many things about phillipine people about their country as

well as thier culture. So, now I know main things about thier culture.

What can you do to further develop your CQ?

I will further develop my CQ by meeting people who belongs to different culture. At my workplace, I always

communicate with people from different background. This will help me to develop my communication skills as
well as my cultural knowledge. I will also get to know about different culture from various sources available on

internet.

PART B:

What have you learned about CQ from your classmates?

My partner is Shanthi Mitra and I learnt many things from her. She explained well about Cultural Intelligence.

She gave a example about her work that how she learnt Hindi language from her workplace. This is very

important thing because if we are learning from our classmate and co workers then we can improve our cultural

intelligence which will help us in our future. .She also explained well about the importance of cultural

intelligence in project management.

What have you learned about yourself in reflecting on your classmates statement?

I learnt about me from her statement that I she learnt a language from her co worker like her I will also share my

views with my classmates as well as my co workers. This will help me to understand different culture and It will

also help me to improve my cultural intelligence.
