Reviewed by Daniel Bowan, Assistant Professor, Colorado State University - Pueblo on 2/1/18

Comprehensiveness rating: 4

I believe the book was comprehensive, it covered a variety of topics related to Cultural Intelligence and leadership. I believe it would have benefited from more of an international perspective.

Content Accuracy rating: 3

I thought the book seemed accurate, however it relied on a lot personal perspectives and lacked scholarly support.

Relevance/Longevity rating: 4

I think the book's subject matter is very relevant as globalization and current trends point towards an increased emphasis on cultural intelligence.

Clarity rating: 3

I thought the book was clear, but a little to informal with the authors voice very present and a bit overbearing.

Consistency rating: 4

I believe the book was consistent from chapter.

Modularity rating: 4

I thought the book succeeded in the area of modularity. Each chapter could be read individually.

Organization/Structure/Flow rating: 4

I thought the book had good organization and flow in the beginning, but this tailed off towards the end and seemed scattered.

Interface rating: 3

I think the book's interface was average. It seemed very drab and lacked sufficient images and visual depictions.

Grammatical Errors rating: 4

I did not catch many grammatical errors.

Cultural Relevance rating: 5

Due the nature of the book subject's, it very much is culturally relevant.

Comments

I would have preferred the author keep their voice out of the text, it read more like a personal biography, rather than an academic textbook.
