Book description
We live in a highly interdependent world where 95 percent of the
world's consumers live outside the U. S. Two-thirds of the world's
purchasing power is also outside the U. S. Shaking the Globe guides
everyone on how to absorb the world's diversity and to build upon his or
her global citizenship by using the FISO Factor? skills to transform
themselves from a conventional leader into a courageous one. The new
dynamics of global leadership--developing different competencies,
curiosity and caring--must be learned.
Shaking the Globe
introduces the newly developed FISO Factor? Assessment Tool that can be
used to evaluate a leader's ability to both Fit In and Stand Out - the
ingredients necessary for leaders to make differences in their lives.
Globalization is happening with or without you. To be a leader, you must
learn how to take advantage of this opportunity. In this book, you will learn:
- How to transcend any existing biases and prepare for the new world
in order to keep your business growing;
- Strategies to develop transformational global leadership skills in
order to establish beachheads for future growth opportunities; and
