Barack Obama is filling out his staff with many appointments of Third Culture Kids (TCK), those who straddled living in countries outside America as kids, according to TheDailyBeast.com
The trend looks positive for making sure those in his office are adept at handling foreign policy and have a global perspective, are socially adaptable and intellectually flexible people who think outside the box. Being a TCK himself, he is moulding the demographics of his closest advisors to reflect his own experience and leadership style.
Thanks to Marc Seago, expert marketer and a TCK living in New York City, for pointing out this article, written by TCK author of the book Third Culture Kids: The Experience of Growing Up Among Worlds, by Ruth E.Van Reken.
Keeping a foot in two worlds as an adult,
