There is right now in the business world, a massive demand to attract global-minded leaders. This extends to beyond merely learning a foreign language or being able to navigate in a foreign country. Such leaders with global fluency though are rare as proven through the Pearson Education and Skills Survey 2017. It corroborates with the business intelligence shared by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) which states that merely 26% of US students undertook foreign language study, and only 12% perceived their studies to be under the ambit of a global curriculum. That is why a management training programme run by Professional Passport looks to hone such global leaders. To address this gap, it is suggested that next time one must either walk or use public transport next in a foreign country. This will help one absorb the cultural sensibilities of the place. One must try new meals locally. And one ought to absorb some form of local media, whether newspapers, TV or even digital.
