"Today's corporate leaders need to develop skills that are effective outside their own national boundaries."--BOOK JACKET. "The authors of Global Explorers have interviewed more than 130 senior-line and human resource executives in 50 companies throughout Europe, North America, and Asia."--BOOK JACKET. "They discovered that leadership success is driven by a few core characteristics that are essential for any global leader, regardless of the country, the industry, or the company. They found a few real-life global leaders who exemplify these core competencies: Mikell Rigg McGuire (Franklin Covey), Gary Griffiths (Marriott), Stephen B. Burke (Disney), Jon Huntsman, Jr. (Huntsman), Lane Cook (DSL de Mexico), Steven Holliday (British-Borneo Oil & Gas), and Tony Wang (Kentucky Fried Chicken)."--BOOK JACKET. "Most companies actually do little to prepare managers for global leadership positions, so the advantage lies with those who prepare themselves. Whether you are just starting out, or only days away from taking the reins, if you want to be a leader, you will want to read this book."--BOOK JACKET.
