Why do international assignments and global teams underperform?
High-performing leaders often struggle when managing across cultures — directly impacting:
- Team engagement
- Speed of execution
- Stakeholder trust
- Talent retention
- ROI on global mobility investments
Without cultural intelligence, even top talent encounters invisible friction that slows integration and reduces performance.
