Leadership Toolkit for Asians : The Definitive Resource Guide for Breaking the Bamboo Ceiling

Breakthrough strategies to help Asian Americans build their personal leadership acumen and map a career advancement path that is achievable, authentic, and culturally relevant. 17 years after Jane Hyun wrote her groundbreaking book, Breaking the Bamboo Ceiling, Asians remain grossly underrepresented in the upper ranks of American organizations. Asians are 12% of the workforce, but just 1.5% of Fortune 500 corporate officers. Hyun says for Asians to lead authentically, they need to move away from "code switching" and "getting along by going along." This workbook is built around her three-part framework for developing an intentional, courageous, culturally grounded approach to working and leading: ASSESS: Identify your personal and professional values, assets, and style EQUIP: Learn to navigate the organizational environment--push back against stereotypes, find mentors and advisors, develop your professional networks, and more. TRANSFORM: Pull it all together to create your own leadership blueprint The Toolkit is full of self-assessments, skill-building exercises, activities, checklists, and quizzes to help readers put ideas into action. It also includes inspiring real-life lessons from Asian executives and leaders The Asian Leadership Toolkit acknowledges the wide range of cultures, identities, and experiences that exist within Asian America, and sees the particulars of identity not as impediments but as integral to crafting a bespoke leadership journey.
