- Synopsis
- As more companies go global, more and more executives are leaving the comforts of their native customs and cultures to pursue leadership opportunities abroad. The stakes are high, as many companies face mature domestic markets and are counting on international markets to drive growth. Executives taking on international assignments face both the usual challenges of transitioning into new roles and the added pressures of settling their families into new and perhaps exotic locales and communicating effectively with colleagues and subordinates in different cultural contexts. Leaders who lack experience in making international moves can fall into common traps that can severely stress their family bonds, negatively affect their performance at work, damage their businesses, and even lead to outright career derailment. But in this chapter, transition acceleration expert Michael Watkins identifies six fundamental principles that can make the difference between a successful international transition and a failed one. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 5 of "Your Next Move: The Leader's Guide to Navigating Major Career Transitions."
