This book is a must-have resource guide for managers and leaders who are in global roles or who have global responsibilities.In consultation with managers, executives, and very experienced international executive coaches, NGMI has put together a series of recommendations and ideas on how a manager can improve on thirty-five scientifically defined capabilities within Global Mindset. All of the ideas are actionable, specific, and easy to implement. The development tips may be used by individuals or by direct reports, coaches, and teams. In addition to a rich variety of development suggestions, engaging narratives throughout the book illustrate the components of Global Mindset in action.The contributing authors also use their unique international experiences to bring Global Mindset to life in seven intriguing case studies. The case studies transport the reader into complex, real-world scenarios that cross geographic and cultural borders, and identify ways to successfully influence diverse others while working within the complex and fast-paced world of global business. The case studies may be used for individual development through self-reflection or in teams, where the discussions will no doubt be lively.
