Why we are introducing the EIS Ascend
has current research showing that relatively few Pan-Asians have
achieved executive level leadership roles, even in regions with
significant Pan-Asian populations such as the San Francisco Bay Area or
the New York Metropolitan Area. Despite visible evidence of Pan-Asian
success generally in the U.S., they remain underrepresented in the upper
management levels of corporate America. Research
points to specific reasons for the failure of Pan-Asians to reach top
executive positions. EIS has been designed to address each of the these
issues, including aversion to risk-taking, limited corporate social
networking, insufficient communications skills and different cultural
interactions. EIS has
been designed to provide participants with a leadership framework that
empowers them to explore how to change their own attitudes about
leadership and business value.
This program is : • Designed to improve core competencies that are underdeveloped in many Pan-Asian professionals •
Developed and delivered by Pan-Asian executives who have successfully
led large U.S. organizations within multinational corporations such as
Cisco, HP, IBM, KPMG and others
Ascend’s
mission is to be the premier national, non-profit professional
organization dedicated to enabling its members, business partners and
the community to leverage the leadership and global business potential
of Pan-Asians.
What You can Expect From The EIS
For
high potential Pan-Asians who are at the senior manager, director or
vice president level (typically 10-15 years experience) who aspire to
contribute to their organizations at the highest levels, the program
will result in a clearer understanding of how ‘real’ management
decisions are made and the specific behaviors, competencies and
experiences required at the executive level. EIS
was created by the team responsible for the highly regarded Stanford
University Graduate School of Business’ Advanced Leadership Program for
Asian Executives
Benefits To Participants In The Program

leadership skills demanded by large U.S. businesses and how to better
