How Women Work

Are the rules that define women leaders in Asia different from those in the West? How are women leaders perceived across Asia? What are the cultural barriers and biases that they grapple with? How is ambition displayed and aspiration cloaked?These are some of the questions addressed in How Women Work: Fitting In and Standing Out in Asia.From China to India, Singapore to the Philippines and Japan to Thailand, this book observes working women through a pan-Asian lens, using their triumphs and tribulations to present readers with lessons and learnings on leadership and success.''Fitting in'' and ''standing out'' are seemingly contrarian ideas, but, from all accounts, Asian women don''t view them as ''either/or''. Successful Asian women leaders do both on their own terms.
