Albright, James, and Hord all speak to the importance of having a global mindset. Global expansion, restructurings, mergers and acquisitions create an ever changing landscape for when, where and how work is performed. Ambitious careerists must be mobile, willing to relocate, and comfortable with travel. Assignments that are necessary steps to the next rung on the ladder are often abroad. The recent terrorist events in our country have, for some, exacerbated a hesitancy to travel. Addressing this Albright suggests, “Everything is about your travel mindset. I focus on who I’m going to see when I reach my destination, versus focusing on the trip. Bring a novel, something other than work, to read on the plane. This is also one way I seek balance.”
