Fostering Culturally Diverse Leadership in Organisations
Fostering Culturally Diverse
Leadership in Organisations
Karen Loon
Since the #blacklivesmatter and #asianhatecrime incidents in the US, there has been an increasing push for greater ethnic diversity in organisations and their leadership globally. The importance of Asian representation has been put in the spotlight since Michelle Yeoh’s recent Oscars win.
How can organisations and their leaders foster greater cultural diversity? How do individual and collective anxieties and organisation dynamics help or hinder their journey? And how do family backgrounds shape how culturally diverse leaders take up roles in organisations?
Karen Loon will present the key highlights and recommendations for organisations and aspiring culturally diverse leaders from her book, Fostering Culturally Diverse Leadership in Organisations: Lessons from Those Who Smashed the Bamboo Ceiling, Routledge, 2023.

Thinking in the Midst of Chaos: How reflective practice becomes a way of working in complex organisations
When one NIODA Masters graduate was made redundant from a senior role, she paused — and used that space to rethink how she worked. She returned to the same organisation, became the person people turned to when things got hard, and eventually left on her own terms. This is what that kind of learning actually looks like in practice.
Leading from the Middle in Turbulent Systems
Middle managers sit at the centre of organisation dynamics. They are required to deliver performance while supporting people, provide stability while enabling change. This piece explores why realising the potential of the middle demands structured sensemaking, not just structural reform.
