Description



About the Book



"Most business leaders struggle mightily when transitioning from working in the U.S. or any modern country to working in Shanghai, Dubai, Nairobi or Pune. Despite organizational efforts to facilitate this transition through training and coaching, leaders often find themselves bewildered and frustrated by the unwritten and often unacknowledged cultural dictates of a given country. These leaders struggle with everything from motivating direct reports to getting deals done. They discover that their best practices have little to do with the practices that have been ingrained in societies for thousands of years. This book is written to provide inside information about working outside traditional business environments. It presents nine rules that will serve leaders well no matter where they're stationed--Asia, South America, the Middle East and elsewhere. As readers will discover, these rules are not taught in typical global leadership courses. Instead, they have emerged from the work of the authors with leading companies in foreign countries or from our efforts to coach others in all parts of the globe"--

"A must read for anyone working on the global stage. Practical, insightful, and full of lessons learned, this book should be required reading for every business executive that conducts business outside the United States. Developing Global Leaders opened my eyes to things that I will do differently starting today and I've been working abroad for over 20 years!" - Bob Knowling, chairman, Eagles Landing Partners

"Developing Global Leaders should be required reading for anyone involved in or contem¬plating a career in international business - particularly in the developing economies.

In this practical perspective, the authors share not only what worked but also what didn't. This book will give you experienced executives' views on how to manage in developing economies with an excellent heads-up on the cultural pitfalls to avoid." - James G. Clawson, Johnson & Higgins Professor of Business, The Darden School of Business, University ofVirginia

"I highly recommend anyone moving to a developing nation to pursue new management op¬portunities to read this book! Bob and Rob have done a great job of giving personalized ex¬amples of real life situations that are very instructive in how to work in cultures we're unfa¬miliar with. The world is made up of many diverse cultures, some of which are very difficult to understand. Their pragmatic advice lays out a great roadmap, building an understanding of the new culture that you'll be working in." - J. Patrick Gallagher, chairman, president, and CEO, Arthur J. Gallagher and Co.
