Abstract
Manager Competence in the 21st century must include leading employees from all cultures and backgrounds. This study determined that there was a correlation between cultural intelligence (CI) and transformational leadership (TL) attributes of managers at American Fortune 500 companies. The results also indicated that there was a statistically significant positive relationship between the CI and the TL abilities of managers. The conclusion drawn from the findings provide a new paradigm for the theory of cultures when CI and TL constructs are compared. It was recommended that American Fortune 500 managers continue to extinguish culture-specific biases through educational and workplace integrations.
