Is it possible for a successful leader to just pick up the right mindset to do well globally?  A global mindset is not a magic potion to drink or a quick lesson to memorize. You will need to cultivate global skills and a global outlook extending beyond your work. You will need to deal with international regulations, country-specific compliances, shades of competition, cultural nuances and so on. You will need to break not just the ceiling, but the glass walls around you.
