Globalization has shaken up traditional leadership development. Language immersion, cultural etiquette tips and the like are wildly insufficient to prepare managers for the demands of today’s global marketplace. Likewise, worrying about expatriate culture shock or the risk that employees “go native” are concerns of a past era. Today’s global business needs truly global leaders. They can’t just act global. They have to be global.

Everyone dreams to be global and they do think about these three things but they don't have two things "1. strong management system" and "2. managers who act as entrepreneurs". Companies which get these two things right become truly global. Owners don't invest in systems so they don't get time to innovate and professionals/ managers make safest choices to protect their job.
