Volume
Cultural Intelligence Building™
Working across cultures without reducing a culture to a set of preferences on a slide.
1 chapter · 9,048 words · Narrated
Most cultural intelligence training is a taxonomy of national tendencies, which is useful for about a week and then becomes a way of being confidently wrong about individuals. This volume treats cultural intelligence developmentally instead: the capacity to hold that another person's meaning-making is coherent from inside, while yours is coherent from inside, and that neither of you has access to a neutral position.
Practical throughout, with attention to the ordinary cases — a distributed team, a merger, a family — rather than only the diplomatic ones.

Elsewhere in the Canon
How this book was made. Many volumes in this house were written with machine assistance. That is the author's declared working method, not a thing found out later, and the practice is itself a published paper with a DOI — Externalized Cognition: A Developmental Theory of Human–AI Co-Creation. The argument, the judgement and the name on the cover are the author's.
