Fostering Culturally Diverse Leadership in Organisations: Lessons from Those Who Smashed the Bamboo Ceiling

Leveraging academic research and case studies, knowledge as a business   leader and diversity practitioner, and personal experience, Karen Loon   examines how successful culturally diverse leaders at work resolve the   contradictions and tensions of their identities within organisations.   What can we learn from those leaders who have thrived and smashed the   ‘bamboo ceiling’? Moreover, are there other factors holding   organisational change back?

The book proposes research-based   recommendations for aspiring leaders and corporate practitioners whilst   revealing the potential inhibitors to progress. Split into three   sections, Loon examines current research on identities in multicultural   nations and organisations, delves into the career progression of   successful Asian-Australian leaders to explore how they negotiate   identity in the workplace, and provides a roadmap of actions for   business leaders looking to create more inclusive and diverse cultures   in their organisations.

Written for both people new to diversity   and those keen on new perspectives, the book is well-suited for  aspiring  leaders at any stage of their careers looking to accelerate  their  careers, as well as C-Suite, HR, and Diversity leads.
