Aus dem Klappentext

In the new economy, almost everyone's work is global in scope, whether they travel the world in several different jobs or spend their entire career in one city. Global experience is becoming essential for managers and an economic reality for organizations. Yet many senior leaders cite as their major obstacle to global effectiveness not a lack of money, products, or strategies-but a shortage of people who are prepared to manage and thrive in the face of globally complex situations. Success for the New Global Manager helps managers understand not only what skills are needed to manage globally but also how to develop them.
The authors-- from the internationally recognized Center for Creative Leadership-- draw on both quantitative and qualitative research on managers from a variety of jobs, industries, and cultural backgrounds to create a dynamic framework for acquiring effective global management capabilities. This four-part framework shows how managers can use their own skills, traits, experiences, and capacities to help determine what they need to know, use what they already know, learn new capabilities, and assess what their organizations can do to help them. Each chapter includes examples and tools that help managers in the international arena develop themselves and those for whom they are responsible in ways that will enhance their prospects for success.

For practicing managers and those who are responsible for developing them, Success for the New Global Manager is essential for enhancing effectiveness in a newly complex business environment.
