Acknowledgments

The key thoughts behind Global Leadership: The Next Generation were those of the more than 200 high-potential leaders from 120 companies around the world who donated their time to this effort. Their ideas made this book possible. We would like to thank them for their generous donation of care and time.

The major resource person who helped put this project together was Sarah McArthur. Without her, Global Leadership: The Next Generation would have never been completed. Sarah is a gifted editor whose patience with this complex process has been amazing to us!

Jeremy Solomons conducted many of the interviews and did an outstanding job summarizing key learnings. Rosalyn Weisman did a fantastic job of data analysis. John Wheaton was an invaluable researcher behind the resource guide.

We would like to thank the following friends, clients, and colleagues for their invaluable time, dedication, and special insights to contribute to this project: Kathy Affeldt, Chris Butler, Fred DiBona, Joe Diapolito, Marjorie Dorr and the Anthem Leadership Team, Joe Frick, Vijay Govindarajan, Rick Greene, Donna Moore, Brian Underhill, and Paul Wieand.

We would also like to thank Tim Moore and the team at Prentice Hall for their persistence and dedication to this project.

Special thanks go to the family members of the authors—for Cathy, especially her parents Barbara and Bernard Greenberg, her daughter Elisabeth, and her Life Partner Gary. Liz Kuh and Michelle Vetsikas were a major source of inspiration throughout the project.
