Growing Global Executives: The New Competencies
Center for Talent Innovation
Growing Global Executives: The New Competencies, by critically-acclaimed author Sylvia Ann Hewlett, and global workplace expert Ripa Rashid, provides a robust leadership template for multinational corporations (MNCs) seeking to globalize their top talent. With global markets shifting to the South and East, multinational companies can no longer afford to depend on ex-pat executives as local proxies.

With global markets shifting to the South and East, multinational companies can no longer afford to depend on ex-pat executives as local proxies.
This new research, based on a 11-country study of highly qualified employees (in Brazil, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, Turkey, the US, and the UK.), finds that emerging leaders are in want of two core competencies: the ability to calibrate their leadership presence to project credibility to superiors at headquarters as well as stakeholders worldwide; and the ability to unlock value from globally dispersed and culturally diverse teams through inclusive leadership. These competencies depend, in turn, on mastery of the virtual communication toolkit, in a world where leadership is increasingly exercised remotely; and on leveraging the sponsorship of senior management.

Asians In America: Unleashing the Potential of "Model" Minority
Center for Work-Life Policy/Center for Talent Innovation
Asians in the United States have long been viewed as a "model minority," lauded for their hard work, ambition and impressive qualifications. At the same time, this highly credentialed talent pool seems to come up against a “bamboo ceiling” that prevents them from breaking into upper management positions. Why are so few Asians reaching the top? In this study we explore the dynamics that keep Asians from fully realizing their potential.

Winning the War for Talent in Emerging Markets: Why Women are the Solution
Harvard Business Press
Winning the War for Talent in Emerging Markets: Why Women Are the Solution by economist Sylvia Ann Hewlett and management consultant Ripa Rashid is a richly nuanced analysis of female talent in the developing world. The book shows how this highly qualified workforce can help companies win in these critical markets. Increasingly emerging markets women have better credentials, higher ambitions, and greater company loyalty than their male peers. Yet their talents remain underleveraged.
The…Winning the War for Talent in Emerging Markets: Why Women Are the Solution by economist Sylvia Ann Hewlett and management consultant Ripa Rashid is a richly nuanced analysis of female talent in the developing world. The book shows how this highly qualified workforce can help companies win in these critical markets. Increasingly emerging markets women have better credentials, higher ambitions, and greater company loyalty than their male peers. Yet their talents remain underleveraged.
The catch? Attracting and retaining these educated and ambitious women requires different strategies than those used in mature markets. In this powerful new book, the authors present strategies for leveraging the impressive reserves of female talent available in BRIC nations of Brazil, Russia, India, China and the UAE. They include 30 case studies from lead companies ranging from Pfizer and Siemens to Wipro and Google which have developed innovative programs to retain and accelerate female talent.Other authorsSee publication -
