Career coach Jane Hyun explains that Asians have not been able to break the "bamboo ceiling" because many are unsure how to effectively manage the cultural influences shaping their individual characteristics and workplace behavior, factors that are often at odds with the competencies needed to succeed at work. The subtle, unconscious behavioral differences exhibited by Asian employees are often misinterpreted by their nonÐAsian counterparts, resulting in lost career opportunities and untapped talent. In her upcoming book, Hyun uses case studies, interviews and anecdotes to identify the issues and provide strategies for Asian Americans to succeed in corporate America.
