Overview

The Top Gun Leadership Academy is a 9-week intensive leadership training program for the most promising new managers of Asian heritage.

Goal

Help attendees gain actionable insights, have inspiring discussions, and practice becoming more confident and capable managers.

Problem

Many ambitious and competent new leaders of Asian heritage often find themselves lacking the training and resources needed to become effective leaders.

Challenges include:

• dealing with imposter syndrome

• motivating their team and holding them accountable

• leading with emotional intelligence, particularly around resolving conflicts

• advocating for their projects and their people within the organization

As a result, many promising leaders feel less agency in their jobs. Furthermore, Asian Americans are 50% less likely to be promoted to middle-management than their Caucasian counterparts, creating an Asian Leadership Gap.
