Managerial roles does not transfer well from country to country. Culture issues arise frequently, not just when dealing with the people you manage, but also with upper management.

Only exception is VP, President, C-level positions. They usually transfer well since they speak the same language.

Hmm, I think you are right. I was rather answering the questions in the description not in the title, my bad.
