| Summary, etc. |
One's first assignment as a project manager abroad provides unusual challenges. In my experience, the main concerns were not Quito's high altitude, the Spanish language, the metric system, or the Andes' rugged topography. Rather, the difficult tests were related to client communications, understanding a new culture, avoiding local politics, and supervising a diverse group of senior professionals. Less difficult, but still challenging, were the tasks of collecting invoices, supervising international contractors, and satisfying the client's staff. |
