What are the key skills and competencies that expat executives need to succeed?
For starters, compare your national culture with your host country's culture using the Hofstede Culture Comparison Tool (use Google to find the link). The tool will help you understand each country's values around: 1. Power Distance (equality vs. inequality) 2. Individualism/Interdependence 3. Masculinity/Femininity 4. Uncertainty Avoidance (attempting control vs. not attempting control) 5. Long-Term Orientation (adherence to tradition vs. adaptation) 6. Indulgence (impulse control) Like Dorothy, you will quickly realize you "aren't in Kansas anymore." Hopefully, this will let you approach your new culture with curiosity and without exercising judgment through the lens of your native culture.
