In my opnion, the three main elements that lead 'any "Global Manager" to be successed edare:
1- Cultural sensitivity. International business managers know that adapting to different cultures enhances personal and business growth. It’s important to appreciate and respect other cultures, and to understand how culture impacts business relationships. Learning how others interpret cues like tone of voice and body language, as well as how to appropriately use one’s negotiation skills, is vital to moving and dealing successfully within a culture.
2- Multilingual. Successful international business managers are able to converse in more than one language especially that of their firm’s largest client or trading partner. It’s also important when communicating in English to speak so that non-native speakers can understand and comprehend clearly. Avoiding unfamiliar words and phrases, using shorter sentences and explaining concepts more thoroughly will help individuals of different cultures more quickly grasp the context of your communication.
3- Global management philosophy. Successful international business managers have the ability to formulate strategies and management systems to take advantage of international opportunities, as well as to respond to changes in a sometimes-volatile international marketplace
A Global manager has to understand the business culture he is entering. For example MENA region, GCC countries, or West African countries known as ECOWAS. Knowledge of the business mind set of the peoples of such groups of countries will help the Global manager to plan economic cooperation with key players in such places.
