Drawing on three decades in engineering and executive leadership at Lockheed Martin — and years spent helping other Asian American executives reach the boardroom through Ascend Pinnacle — S. K. Gupta lays out what it actually takes to move from doing excellent work to being recognized, trusted, and promoted for it. Part memoir, part field guide, The Asian American Executive is for any leader who has felt the quiet gap between how hard they work and how they’re seen.

Why This Book

The Asian American Executive is the book Gupta wishes had existed thirty years ago — a practical guide to closing the gap between performance, perception, and promotion, written for the next generation of leaders navigating the same path he did.
