Kyle Hegarty, author of The Accidental Business Nomad, joins me to explore culture shock, communication and leadership across borders.
We discuss his move to Singapore in the early 2000s, lessons from his first project manager hire, common mistakes Western leaders make when working in Asia, his “Slap dragon” approach and management lessons from the Centurion group.
