Reviews
'The book is insightful, thought provoking, and is essential for executives who aspire to do an exceptional job and leave their mark on business history and societal development.' Helen T. Bailie, Competitiveness Review
'Muna and Zennis have done an excellent job of exploring how multicultural leaders are developed within a particular cultural context. Using the insights gained from their research, they provide clear affirmation of leadership development processes that apply within and across a variety of cultural environments. Most importantly to this reviewer, their work is a powerful resource for any organization doing work internationally and which takes seriously how best to prepare their own employees for international service.' Leadership & Organization Development Journal
