Global Leadership & Global Competencies Inventory (GCI)
Successful International Assignments from Selection to Repatriation
How do you ensure the right executives are given international assignments that best fit their competencies and showcase your organization’s global standing? Leaving these selections to chance is risky strategy. As Peter Drucker famously sad “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.”
