the talent may be available anywhere but it is the test of the skills of management in company to spot potential talent and allow them to flower,and some research has found that number of world CEOwere low performer in their early life,and found somebody who could spot them and make them go through the grind.
the existing performance of employee is important but the potential performance is equally important that should not be ignored,but it is not enough to spot raw talent but equally important is to spot the talent who has the attitude to go that extra mile so putting [mental hunger ]above skills for getting that elite performance is not uncalled for .
leadership should appreciate that it may be mistaken belief that failure comes from doing something wrong,most failure in business comes from losing to competitor who is doing something better.,the leaders should try to enhance the likability of their organisation and its product as we all choose to do business with people we like generally.
the leaders need to study local trends and customs and what people value more in that part of world so that product and experiences be aligned to local aspirations,the organisation must have local employee of targeted market,and also need advice and counsel from people on the ground ,who are intimately familiar with the local culture,need to listen carefully,analyse throughly to engage locally
today the globalisation has ascended to a new level in which nations are connected not only by trade but also by other concern like climate change,food security,and act of terror.
