IOR World is one of our KnowledgeWorkx business partners.
They published an interesting article on their blog related to top level athletes and how important it is for them to be Inter-Culturally Intelligent.
Their interview with Michael Blatchford offers interesting insights in the intercultural challenges athletes face on the international circuit.
I like what Michael had to say at the end of the interview:
“The great athlete is the one who best deals with the unexpected. My experience has allowed me the patience to accept the unknown and manage snap changes.” The more experience competing at the world level, the more comfortable the athlete is abroad, and the better he can perform. Experiences that once felt like huge differences turn into much less daunting encounters. It is this type of advice that we can apply to today’s international assignments, as they offer a great opportunity to develop critical global business skills. It is a great expatriate who develops these global skills and mindset that can become a valuable global leader for the company."
