It is a little known fact that the best wine grapes grow in the worst, most inhospitable soil conditions.
How is that possible? Stress. The grapes are under pressure to survive. They are forced to seek nutrients deep in the soil for sustenance and to direct what little water there is for the grapes as opposed to the plants. Interestingly, surviving through this crucible of sorts helps to shape them into best of breed varietals.

Can you help someone become not just a better leader, but a great one? The answer is: It depends on your mindset. If you judge leadership by ranking one leader against another based on innate individual characteristics, only some can rise to greatness.

In the past, globalization tended to mean Western companies exporting their people, products and ways of doing things to other parts of the world. However, the new environment that international companies are required to operate in can more accurately be described as multipolar. These days, if you are an American firm pitching for business in Africa, you may well also have credible local competitors, as well as companies from China and India vying for the business. In order to succeed as a leader in a multipolar world, certain assumptions need to be shed and new skills developed – not only by Western leaders but also by those from countries whose companies are stepping onto the world stage for perhaps the first time.
