She must become an Anywhere Leader.

The Anywhere Leader offers a blueprint for developing today’s leaders who can handle surprising challenges—from mergers to global relocation—and who thrive in turbulent times by being open to new concepts, passionate about progress, and resourceful with the tools available. Written by Mike Thompson, a noted thought leader and CEO of the organizational development company SVI, this groundbreaking book draws upon years of research and Thompson’s military and global business experiences to show leaders how to navigate the unknown and come out on top.
