1.Going Global
Doing business around the world can seem a long way from doing business. Like most long journeys,
going global can be boiled down to a series of steps. Here are the six basic steps to going global:
Overseas experience
Deep self-awareness
Humility
Lifelong curiosity
Cautious honesty
Global strategic thinking
Patiently impatient
Well-spoken
Good negotiator
Presence
Overseas Experience
Many global executives understand what doing business in a flat world is like because they’ve lived
overseas, sometimes for decades at a time.
Deep Self-Awareness
Understanding your beliefs and knowing where they might differ from others’ is critical to global
executive success.
Humility
Being interested in other cultures and how people in those cultures do things, especially with regard to
business, implies a certain humility.
Lifelong Curiosity
The world is constantly evolving. Without an intense curiosity and a desire to learn, you will be left
behind and increasingly unable to converse, much less keep up, with your peers.
Cautious Honesty
Surprisingly, the definitions of “honesty” and “truth” vary widely in the business arena. People
sometimes omit information or only tell the truth they think other people need to know.
When you have a global perspective, you think strategically about managing business using the best
people from around the planet
Patiently Impatient
You must be in a hurry and yet be patient enough to allow the local and regional processes to unfold as
they are meant to.
Well-Spoken
Given the challenges of working via interpreters or fumbling through conversations in more than one
language, the ability to say clearly what you mean is a key global business skill.
Good Negotiator
Doing business across ethnic, national and regional boundaries requires strong negotiating skills.
Presence
