In large corporations, managers are often more protecting of their area and power, than leveraging it to make things happen faster. There is an old saying “Influence is a team sport.” You don’t have to do all the influencing, and you might be able to focus on key changed initiatives and get others in the organization linking with key people in the countries. The best change leaders are triggering change, but not always have to be the person leading every detail of it. Focusing on triggering the right change, and finding others to help you make it happen.
