Question 1

What does Sir Anthony mean by culture?

Accepted Answer

Culture is not only heritage, tribe, and tradition. It is the shared beliefs, values, behaviours, and norms that a people gradually accept as normal — carried in everyday habits, unwritten rules, and repeated choices far more than in ceremonies and celebrations. Sir Anthony’s work begins by making that everyday culture visible, so that it can be examined and shaped deliberately rather than simply inherited.

Question 2

What is responsible influence?

Accepted Answer

Responsible influence is the use of your voice with an awareness that it shapes people, culture, and society — and therefore the exercise of truth, integrity, stewardship, and long-term thinking in what you communicate. It does not require a large platform or institutional authority. Every voice already influences someone; the only real question is whether it is influencing on purpose.

Question 3

How does cultural intelligence change the way an organisation communicates?

Accepted Answer

Cultural intelligence changes communication by examining the normalised daily choices and systemic habits of the people involved — what an organisation actually rewards, tolerates, and repeats. Instead of publishing statements that describe an aspiration, a culturally intelligent approach names the culture that already exists and builds the language and rituals that carry the intended one. People trust that alignment because they recognise it as true.

Question 4

What does a cultural intelligence consultation involve for teams and organizations?

Accepted Answer

A cultural intelligence consultation involves moving past surface-level values statements on a wall to build a genuinely lived organization culture. The process includes deep team conversations, interactive workshops, and leadership advisory sessions. This framework helps teams examine their daily operational choices, align their communication strategies, and equip their members to actively shape a positive workplace culture.
