Do you want to fast track your career to the ‘C’ Suite?
The key to your success can be BRICK. Brick is an acronym for: Brazil, Russia, India, China and (South) Korea. These five countries make up the largest, wealthiest, quickest emerging and growing economies in the world. These five countries are beginning to change the fundamental dynamics around how your business and every business will compete for resources such as raw materials, talent and customers.
For decades the largest multinational corporations have had formal programs of assigning their high potential senior leaders into overseas placements in the interests of broadening their skills and perspectives. Whether or not your firm has such a program, it is imperative that your organization’s future executives have experience working in or working with the BRICK countries. Performing on the world stage, will signal to your leaders that you should be given a leading role.
Putting It Into Action:
Become very familiar with any products, projects or divisions that rely heavily on any of the BRICK countries. Lead projects that involve one or all of the BRICK countries. Travel to or be appointed for a short-term project in any of the BRICK countries. Research, attend conferences and conduct information interviews with anyone who has experience with one of the five countries.
With you along the path towards success,
