The Global Nomadic Leader differs from the expatriate leader. Expatriates travel and live abroad as adults, whereas Global Nomadic Leaders grew up in and spent a significant part of their developmental years in other cultures and develop a sense of belonging to both their host and home cultures, while lacking a sense of total ownership in any.  Elements of these multiple cultures blend to result in a “third” culture. Global Nomadic Leaders thus experience not just one country at a time, but navigate similarities and differences as they move multiple times to various countries, each of which becomes a part of their collective cultural identity.
