Abstract

Leaders in developing countries often are confused about what their people expect from them and what they can expect from their people. Western managers come into these foreign environments with the following assumptions: People may have personality conflicts with other employees,but they will generally treat their colleagues with a fair and open-minded approach. Employees will draw a clear line between their professional and personal lives. The primary role of leaders/managers is to grow the company and their people; employees don’t need to know them or like them, but they need to respect them. Employees will follow corporate rules and adhere to company values. Loyalty to the organization supersedes loyalty to any other group during the work day.
