Let’s Take the example of Lalit Ahuja, President of Target India. He was recruited by Target, an americain retailing company to establish a second corporate headquarters in India.
Instead of immediately organizing the Indian operation, Ahuja took a different approach and spent his first six months living in the U.S. and working at Target’s headquarters in Minneapolis.
Ahuja knew that his success would depend on understanding not only the local Indian context but also the Midwest American culture in which Target was founded.
His personal development is typical of the effort needed to become a global leader. A global mindset needs to be constantly developed through intentional study, first-hand experience, and assembling networks of friends and contacts in different parts of the world.
He established an “exchange” program that allows employees to flex their global muscles and develop the mindset needed to engage effectively in Target’s increasingly global enterprise.
