“A new career opportunity in another country is always exciting. As they prepare for the role, leaders can neglect to fully consider replicating the strong support systems that enabled them to achieve success in their home environment. This can lead to unhappiness and frustration in the initial stages of the move, potential underperformance and in extreme cases, even failure. Katia Vlachos highlights the need for the same attention to planning for potential lifestyle, infrastructure and cultural changes as they would for the new role itself. This book is a great ‘how to’ to ensure a successful transition and a great read for anyone considering a global move.”
