Interpersonal skills, cultural sensitivity, and flexibility are all crucial for success in an expatriate assignment. The sales manager will need to understand and adapt to the cultural norms and business practices in India, communicate effectively with both Indian customers and the local sales team, and be willing to adapt to new situations and challenges. Agreeableness alone is not enough to ensure success, and cultural sensitivity is important but must be combined with strong interpersonal skills and the ability to be flexible in order to effectively manage a team in a new environment.
