Know The Game, Play The Game

In China today,localization is a key objective of nearly every multinational organization.In particular, companies are actively seeking mainland professionals with well-rounded, global-caliber backgrounds to fill increasingly higher level roles and responsibilities.But even as the preference for such profiles is growing, the hiring reality for such international-caliber talent is quite different.Though capable and motivated, many mainland professionals still lack the international-caliber “exposure”or “polish” that leading international companies demand for many of their key positions.

On the other side, many mainlanders find it difficult to either break into a multinational company, or once inside, advance themselves into higher management positions.Their greatest obstacle is not a lack of opportunities which exist in nearly every industry.Rather, it is if they are qualified to attain and handle those roles and responsibilities that are most attractive to them.

This is the essence of Know The Game, Play The Game, a book that highlights the key capabilities and qualities that multinational executives value most in their top employees, and what mainland professionals should know to develop a successful career in a leading company.Like any game you play, the better you know the strategy, rules, and tendencies of the players involved, the better your chances are for success.But for many mainland professionals who seek greater success in a high-caliber, corporate environment that is relatively new to them, their sense of the professional capabilities and habits that most affect their ability to deliver outstanding results are not that strong.

Of course, to improve your understanding of this, you could obtain an MBA from a Harvard, Wharton, or other top, overseas business school program.But for how many mainland professionals is this a realistic option?Instead, most must develop their capabilities and understanding of the corporate business world through the situations and resources available to them here in China.This is why Know The Game, Play The Game was written, to provide practical advice and insight into how senior managers think and what is essential to developing a successful career in a world-class organization.It shares the experiences of local professionals who, although they have never worked or studied abroad, are able to optimize their situation and opportunities in the mainland to attain outstanding success in their careers.By also sharingin this book our career planning, career development, and job search expertise, we hope that many mainland parofessionals will be able to more successfully obtain the personal and professional goals that they seek, and that many international companies operating in China will be able to better evaluate, attain, and develop their critical management talent for their future growth and success in the mainland.
