Taking a new assignment in your company’s foreign office? Meeting a business associate from another country? Videoconferencing with a group of global co-workers? Negotiating a project deadline with the foreign software engineer across the hall? Learn how to apply a new set of cultural competencies to successfully cross national or cultural boundaries.

Working GlobeSmart shows how global people skills add value to global business and captures the essence of what global leadership means: the ability to create a corporate culture that builds cooperation across borders and cultures, between customers and suppliers-across every organizational line.

Reviews

In a world full of leadership advice, Ernest Gundling cuts through the complexity of global leadership issues and provides a model that is understandable and engaging. Any person or organization wrestling with global effectiveness would benefit from this book.
Jay V. Ihlenfeld, Vice President, Research and Development, 3M
In my position at Sumitomo 3M, I was fortunate to work closely with Ernest Gundling to build an effective personal communication style with my Japanese management team and with our employees. The insight and learnings in this book are a valuable resource for executives engaged in international and cross-cultural business leadership.
