The Unwritten Rules of the Game
People often say Asian Americans lack soft skills. It would be more accurate to say that we have soft skills which differ from the American norms. Why?
- 71% of Asian Americans adults are immigrants, and most of us who were born here were raised by those immigrants. Meantime,
- 17% of all American adults are immigrants.
So, to succeed, you must behave in the Western ways in which most Americans were raised, but which differ from how we were raised.
To dismantle glass ceilings, it’s crucial that we gain clarity on the unwritten rules by which American organizations are run.
