Advice: Pay more attention to strategies and corporate culture. Being a global leader means being effective and efficient in different environments and cultures.

Qualities sought in emerging leaders: Strategic vision of the business with a clear comprehension of the current and future industry trends. A balanced development of the emotional intelligence. A true senior leader doesn’t conduct the company’s operations, and is able to anticipate the future of the market, the social tendencies, and client expectations. A leader is able to “translate” that future into the internal language of the organization and motivate people to reach it.
