About the Book

Are the rules that define women leaders in Asia different from those in the West? How are women leaders perceived across Asia? What are the cultural barriers and biases that they grapple with? How is ambition displayed and aspiration cloaked?

These are some of the questions addressed in How Women Work: Fitting In and Standing Out in Asia.

From China to India, Singapore to the Philippines and Japan to Thailand, this book observes working women through a pan-Asian lens, using their triumphs and tribulations to present readers with lessons and learnings on leadership and success.

‘Fitting in’ and ‘standing out’ are seemingly contrarian ideas, but, from all accounts, Asian women don’t view them as ‘either/or’. Successful Asian women leaders do both on their own terms.

With observations from women leaders as well as their male counterparts, How Women Work enriches and deepens our understanding of women leadership in one of the most dynamic regions of the world. It lays down the skills and strategies that work and the pitfalls to avoid for the modern working leader as she navigates the intricate ties between leadership and culture in the Asian hemisphere.

Talking about the book, Aarti Kelshikar says ‘I wrote this book to provide a perspective of women’s success and leadership in Asia, through an Asian lens, which I felt was an important area that needed to be studied and showcased. The book contains numerous stories of women leaders across Asian countries, in their own voices. The book will resonate with you on various levels, make you smile, have ‘Aha’ moments, remind you to celebrate successes and keep learning. Above all, it will inspire you to lead and succeed authentically.’

Sachin Sharma, Executive Editor at HarperCollins adds ‘How Women Work is a celebration of how women are rewriting the rules of success in the workplace. What makes it extremely enriching is that Aarti Kelshikar takes a reader on a pan-Asia journey where women cutting across cultural and geographical boundaries are taking challenges head-on and rising in their careers. For every aspiring woman leader, this is a must-read book.’
