When examined in this manner, it becomes clear that the cultural context in which intelligence is developed and utilized by the organization will have a direct bearing on the manner in which the individual responds.

Flexibility, adaptability, and a global mindset cause my organization to behave in a responsive rather than hierarchical fashion. These organizational values conspire to create an organizational culture that respects education, values protocol and is detail-oriented, yet is not such a slave to the rules that it loses sight of human beings. After all, if the rules were absolute, there would not be different government laws and bylaws, depending on the
Besides being the process through which information is exchanged throughout the organization, communication is a critical job skill because it directly influences the management of interpersonal relationships. This is true at the organizational as well as the individual level. Indeed, this is precisely the reason why organizations need to focus on important aspects of effective interpersonal communication, including communication systems, perception, verbal and nonverbal communication, networks and channels, listening
