Leaders heading up multinational organisations should be
able to appreciate the big picture and zoom in on the smallest of
details. However, these skills are often few and far
between
We all work in a world where performing effectively as a global
business is essential. However, despite this, there's no single
proven programme or discipline which provides leaders with the
capabilities and competencies they need to succeed.
Our research of more than 10,000 executives working in over
1,000 organisations around the world – titled the 'The
Top Team Research Project' – suggests that the most
effective global leaders are almost mechanically adept at moving
between different contexts, cultures and characters.
