Developing Global Executives: The Lessons of International Experience »

Morgan McCall, a Professor of management and organization at the Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California, is the author of High Flyers.

George P. Hollenbeck is an organizational psychologist and Founder of Hollenbeck Associates, based in Livingston, Texas.

Based on the real-world experiences of global business leaders, this is an in-depth look at what it takes for organizations to groom, and individuals to become, successful international executives.

Leadership development experts Morgan W. McCall, Jr. and George P. Hollenbeck distill the findings of their wide-ranging study of veteran global executives to reveal who global executives are, what distinguishes them from domestic leaders, and which key experiences were most critical in helping them master their rewarding but extremely demanding careers. Through rich and varied stories, the authors vividly illustrate the issues raised by a global reach-from the delicacy of balancing business learning and cultural sensitivity to the role of cultural and ethnic backgrounds to the importance of continuous learning.

With today's ever-increasing complexity in business, organizations need to capitalize on every developmental opportunity. Developing Global Executives will help you do just that by providing a thorough itinerary and useful guide for executives moving in the new, completely global environment. On your exploratory journey through the book, you will meet many fascinating people, learn from their stories, and come away with real wisdom.
