Foreigner in Charge e-bog

For many executives, Singapore represents their first overseas posting and provides a safe transition to international work and life. This is your chance to step onto the world stage and take your family along for the ride. Everything points to success. However, up to 50 per cent of international leadership assignments fail. Added to this are the complexities of leading in Singapore: the diverse range of people and cultures means a 'one size fits all' approach is unlikely to work. What's the solution?
