内容简介 The Myth
The popular media often portrays Asian Americans as highly educated and successful individuals -- the "Model Minority."
The Reality
As the ethnic minority with the largest percentage of college graduates, many Asian Americans do enter the professional workforce. However, many of them seem to stall in their careers and never make it to the corner offices.
The Solution
Leading executive coach Jane Hyun explores how traditional Asian values can be at odds with Western corporate culture. By using anecdotes, case studies, and exercises, Hyun offers practical solutions for resolving misunderstandings and overcoming challenges in an increasingly multicultural workplace. This timely book explains how companies will benefit from discovering and supporting the talents of their Asian employees and shows Asians how to leverage their strengths to break through the bamboo ceiling.
作者简介 Jane Hyun is an executive coach and diversity strategist to Fortune 500 companies and universities. She was formerly a vice president of HR at JPMorgan and director of recruiting at Deloitte & Touche and Resources Connection.
