Lot of these studies overlook the fact that it might have more to do with culture than race, also, I didn't see them try to do their experiments in reverse, maybe 'Asians' have bad stereotypes towards others that set them back as well.
> As the population of workers in the United States changes, so too should models for leaders.
There is no proof for this, maybe there is a reason why in general us white boys are better at leading people. What people overlook as well is that leadership is not just unicorns and rainbows, as a leader you will get a ton of abuse from your bosses and have to deal with the complaints of your subordinates, maybe white men in general are just better at handling this.
Maybe we would be better off with more 'Asian' or 'women' leaders, but maybe not, there is no proof that having a white men majority in leadership roles is a bad thing for society.
> In the meantime, businesses should focus on determining the competencies needed to fulfill a leadership job and then select leaders who fit the requirements rather than leadership stereotypes. If we do this, it is likely that more minorities and women will reach the top.
It's not always the most competent people who ascend to leadership roles. There is a good reason for this: the most highly skilled people sometimes just lack social skills and as a result would be lousy leaders.
I'd wish there would be studies that would look at people in a rock, paper and scissors kind of way that would ignore race and focus on culture instead, something like Myers–Briggs.
