How many countries should be visited on a given trip? Are business trips too short to actually accomplish anything?
These sound like scheduling questions. They’re really HR questions. Executives who are stretched across too many countries in too little time make worse decisions, build shallower relationships, and burn out faster — which costs a company far more than the airfare saved by cramming five cities into one week. Global demands need a real travel and workload strategy, not just a packed calendar.
