Howdy ,
Here is another installment of book excerpts from Winning Beyond Borders: Achieving Success at Work in a New Country…
Perhaps you are walking a different road. On a bright sunny day, you decided to pack your things, get on a plane and go to lands new. Yep, you decided to take the stab and navigate the new experience of starting anew in a new country. The rules don't change for you. You actually have a lower road to navigate when you get a job.
Why?
Because whatever job you get, your employer wants you. For folks who were sent from head office, in some cases, the local office did not request them. The local office may even think they have someone else amongst them who can do the job at a lower cost. So, in your case, your employer asked for you. What you will learn in this book will help you move faster since you don't have to navigate the politics of not-been-wanted.
But don't skip any chapter.
I am not oblivious that across the world, insular tendencies are showing up more often in the national politics of the day. It means your employer may want you, but some team members may not like you. That's why you need to know how to navigate those waters.
This book will give you the tools to sail those waters. You will navigate it successfully, like the seafaring adventurer you have become. You dared to step out of your first country of comfort.
More than that, by the end of this grand adventure, you will have the power to bestow boons on your fellow men (a la Joseph Campbell).
I will be your guide on this exciting journey. I started navigating many cultures and languages long before work took me on a magic carpet ride to show me the world.
I come from a country with more than 300 ethnic groups with over 520 living indigenous languages. And for good measure, we have 12 indigenous languages that are now extinct. There are ten living non-indigenous languages established within the country. In formal education, about six indigenous languages are used as languages of instruction.
