Re: Leadership Qualities
It strikes me as odd that so many high level tech execs/founders in SV aren't Asian, if only because so many engineers I've met are.
I just assumed that with the % who get into great American schools (especially in CA), there'd be more Asian entrepreneurs/business leaders.
Then again, I could be overestimating the number of Asian's seeing as how it's less than 10% of the U.S. demographic.

- voodoomagicman 15y agoThis could be due to a perceived lack of leadership qualities as much as a real one.

- learc83 15y agoThere was an article here a few months ago by an Asian engineer about this topic. His theory was that Asian culture doesn't encourage one to be talkative when interacting with superiors--the Asian in the meeting is more likely to stay quiet and thus is overlooked by his superiors.
