Professional Women in Asia Take Center Stage

As companies develop their future leaders, Asian women are an excellent option, but work remains to be done. In a special report for BusinessWeek.com, Jane Horn describes what corporations and Asian women can do to facilitate this development:

In order for multinationals to retain senior Asian talent, they must now accept leadership differences of culture and gender, and better understand the needs of this highly educated, urban, professional group of female executives.

In turn, these women must make small shifts in what they do or don’t do. Women use a much more indirect communication style. Asian women in particular have a tendency to be humble and not talk openly about their accomplishments.
