Summary

In this age of globalization challenges--from economic uncertainty to emerging markets--there are no mapped out answers for the international manager.Global Explorersguides the global manager from the periphery to the center stage of international business leadership. In a 1997 survey of Fortune 500 firms conducted by authors J. Stewart Black, Allen J. Morrison and Hal B. Gregersen, virtually all companies indicated there was a severe shortage of global leaders. The demand for competent global leaders far outstrips the supply.Global Explorersprovides the skills and outlines the competencies future global managers need to fill the leadership gap. Using extensive research, real-life examples, and 130 in-depth interviews with senior executives representing 50 global companies, including IBM, Disney, Exxon and Sony,Global Explorerssuggests the reasons for the global leadership shortage, and identifies the necessary skills to compete in the international marketplace. The authors associate three basic and necessary competencies to teach the global managers of tomorrow : Strong Characterto acquire the trust and goodwill of people around the world Dualityto embrace conflicting priorities and manage overwhelming uncertainty Savvyto provide a clear business sense of what needs to be done and how to access the resources to make it happen For managers who want to safeguard their corporate future in these changing times,Global Explorerswill help them develop a personal program for developing and balancing the skills they need to become successful global leaders.
