Practical and far-sighted, this book offers a wealth of firsthand insights for aspiring and current international executives and the organizations that employ them.
Based on the real-world experiences of global business leaders, this is an in-depth look at what it takes for organizations to groom, and individuals to become, successful international executives.
Leadership development experts Morgan W. McCall, Jr. and George P. Hollenbeck distill the findings of their wide-ranging study of veteran global executives to reveal who global executives are, what distinguishes them from domestic leaders, and which key experiences were most critical in helping them master their rewarding but extremely demanding careers. Through rich and varied stories, the authors vividly illustrate the issues raised by a global reach-from the delicacy of balancing business learning and cultural sensitivity to the role of cultural and ethnic backgrounds to the importance of continuous learning.
