Global Explorers: The Next Generation of Leaders

Rating:
Summary: Excellent , practical book for global executives
Review: Because of lectures on how to prepare to be a global executive, I have read several books on this subject and highly recommend this one.
The authors have performed extensive research on big multinational companies and were able to come up with a model that makes sense and is easy to understand and put into practice. The model is based on 4 sets of competences: inquisitiveness, perspective, character and savvy. After each set of competences, they use the example of an actual successful executive as a model.
In my opinion, their model is even better than the widely known model from Terence Brake in THE GLOBAL LEADER: CRITICAL FACTORS FOR CREATING THE WORLD CLASS ORGANIZATION.
