Abstract
An expatriate refers to a person who lives in a foreign country rather than his or her native country as a delegate or a representative of his or her own country, an organization or a company located in their native country. In today’s business world, being a successful expatriate is an essential factor for international businesses. This is because this kind of success translates to a better performance of the company activities in the foreign countries. To be successful as an expatriate, it requires a person to possess some qualities which include, communication skills, motivation to succeed and cultural flexibility. Through globalization, several multinational companies are sending their employees to work as an expatriate in foreign countries. In most cases, many of these individuals fail to achieve their expectations to achieve their responsibilities in these countries. Therefore, it is important to learn and understand some of the qualities that lead to a successful expatriate.
