"Success in business is all about people – take care of them & they’ll take care of business. It’s that simple!" Richard Branson. It should, therefore, be no surprise to see the below article from a recent survey showing that the GCC Region's top CEO's cite Talent as the No.1 challenge to success this year. It is, however, great to see articles that shine a bigger spotlight on this challenge, highlighting the importance of getting your Talent Strategy right, through to attraction, development and retention. Which begs the question: Do you know your Talent? #talent #thefutureofwork #stanleymac

🥳I’m excited to share that I’ve just completed the “Leading Global Expansion” course! 🌍 Global expansion can help a company grow faster, enjoy the benefits of global scale, and tap into the unique advantages of different locations. However, it also presents numerous challenges such as exposure to unfamiliar cultures and markets, difficulties in coordinating far-flung operations, and greater organizational complexity. Whether global expansion adds or destroys value depends on a company’s ability to build the necessary local capabilities in different markets and manage the global network effectively. In this course, led by Dr. Anil K. Gupta and Haiyan Wang, two of the world’s foremost experts on global strategy, I learned how to maximize the benefits and minimize the costs and risks when leading a company that spans multiple markets. I discovered strategies to connect with local markets, manage across cultures, cultivate employee engagement in foreign subsidiaries, and foster a global mindset. A big thank you to Dr. Anil K. Gupta (@[Tag Dr. Anil K. Gupta]) and Haiyan Wang (@[Tag Haiyan Wang]) for their invaluable insights! #GlobalExpansion #Leadership #MulticulturalTeamManagement #ProfessionalDevelopment #PMI

Two-in-a-box or One? Global Capability Centers Reimagine Leadership Global Capability Centers (GCCs) are in a constant state of evolution. Once primarily focused on efficiency, they've transformed into strategic hubs continuously pushing boundaries in innovation and attracting an ever-increasing number of leadership roles. This dynamic shift raises a critical question: what leadership approach best fuels success for GCCs? Traditionally, the "2-in-a-box" model, where counterparts at the HQ share leadership responsibilities, has been prevalent. However, with GCCs taking on a more strategic role, a shift towards a "one-in-a-box" structure is gaining traction. Why the move to "One-in-a-Box"? • Agility in a Dynamic Landscape: Faster decision-making is crucial in today's fast-paced environment. A single leader streamlines communication and expedites course corrections, ensuring responsiveness to market changes. • Unified Vision for Global Success: One leader sets a clear strategic direction, minimizing conflicting priorities and ensuring all team members, regardless of location, rally behind a shared vision. • Amplified Accountability: A single leader shoulders full responsibility for driving results. This fosters a culture of ownership and maximizes team performance. • Building a Cohesive "One Team" Culture: The "one-in-a-box" approach breaks down geographical barriers and creates a more unified work environment, fostering stronger team collaboration. Is "One-in-a-Box" the Answer? The ideal leadership approach may vary depending on the specific needs of each GCC. However, the growing adoption of "one-in-a-box" in India's GCCs highlights its potential to enhance agility, accountability, and team unity, driving even greater success in the global landscape. What are your thoughts? Join the conversation and share your perspective on leadership in the evolving world of GCCs!

Time to move from “Two-in-a box” to “One-in-a-box”, with more strategic roles at GCCs. The question is … are GCCs ready with their infrastructure, hiring and retaining talents, the right training programs and flexible policies.
