His exploits as an Air Force pilot in the Pacific during World War II included 219 combat missions; he counted among his myriad awards an honorary title from the Queen...
Once a team is in place, expat bosses often have to reinvent themselves as managers. Lin Chase, 44, arrived in Bangalore in January 2006 to head Accenture's research and development lab. "I come from a culture where people love a plan," she says. "The plan is God." Not in India. She would step away from meetings confident that a plan was in place and wait for its execution. And wait.
