Seeing the Ceiling

Abstract: Abstract Both authors of this book have conducted workshops or seminars on the glass-ceiling issues raised in this book. In one such workshop, senior-level managers were asked to serve on a panel and share thoughts with junior team members about how they progressed in their careers and reached the level that they had. The session first started with an overview of glass-ceiling issues, and then leaders talked about their own experiences, what they did in order to reach their level, and what they saw in store for themselves in working to get to the next more senior level. When reflecting on how the glass-ceiling issues discussed resonated with them, some leaders agreed with the information presented while others did not. In a discussion such as this where individuals were asked to reflect on their own experience, inevitably, the question of Asian American identity comes up.
