It is a mistake to expect good work from expatriates for it is not what they do that matters but what they are not doing.

It is a mistake to expect good work from expatriates for it

Summary

This quote suggests that expecting exceptional work from expatriates is misguided because their value lies not in what they actively do, but in what they are not doing - in other words, the unique perspective, diversity, and different experiences they bring to the table. Instead of solely focusing on their specific tasks or assignments, it is important to recognize and appreciate the broader contribution they make to the organization through new ideas, cultural awareness, and fresh perspectives.

But those were also the years when hip-hop exploded, beatbox disco soared, indie rock took off, and new wave invented a language of teen angst.
