The bamboo presents both empathy and strength and adding to it flexibility and adaptability. I agree with the author that these are the descriptions at a resilient leader. It is a must today no matter you have your own business or you are living in a corporate world. The new term I have learnt while reading the book is CQ - cultural intelligence. It is indeed one of the most desired qualities in our world full of diversity no matter where we are! Low CQ can lead to failure in your business (you are wrong to disregard other cultures) and there are a lot of examples in stories about low and high CQ from personal level to global brands. This book will guide you in how to work successfully across different cultures. I would recommend to read likewise to business owners and corporate employees. In Rome do, like Romans do.
