Cross the Cultural Divide

Abstract

Managing local staff and their expectations is a key to being Big in Asia. If you’re an expatriate, managing a team that is outside your own culture might well be one of the hardest things you will ever do in your career. Many who have worked as expatriates in Asia say that their time there was among the most rewarding of their careers. Their time may not have always been happy, and was probably often frustrating, but most would agree that it was always interesting.
