Leadership in Organisations
Since the #blacklivesmatter and #asianhatecrime incidents in the US, there has been an increasing push for greater ethnic diversity in organisations and their leadership globally. The importance of Asian representation has been put in the spotlight since Michelle Yeoh’s recent Oscars win.
How can organisations and their leaders foster greater cultural diversity? How do individual and collective anxieties and organisation dynamics help or hinder their journey? And how do family backgrounds shape how culturally diverse leaders take up roles in organisations?
Karen Loon will present the key highlights and recommendations for organisations and aspiring culturally diverse leaders from her book, Fostering Culturally Diverse Leadership in Organisations: Lessons from Those Who Smashed the Bamboo Ceiling, Routledge, 2023.

Group relations and leadership are shaped by a confluence of cultural diversity, egalitarian values, and evolving workplace expectations.
