Additionally, an extensive database of 30,000 leaders provides insights to inform the reader.The book addresses questions such as: What are the challenges for leaders from different regions as they move into onto the global stage?Why are Americans so positive?Why is China a world leader in manufacturing and India in IT?Why do overseas firms struggle in the U.S. market place?What are the emotional forces driving current events in the Middle East?Each culture has attributes that developed over thousands of years to address unique environmental challenges.
