One thing I consciously do is share information — both positive and negative. For the headquarters, it matters that there is consistency and there are no surprises — they hear the good as well as the bad news from you. Working for an MNC also requires a willingness to accept new ideas that could come from elsewhere. I consider myself as the ambassador of the parent company at all times. This means you cannot have a bad day. No matter what the differences, you must know how to balance multiple things.
