Welcome
- Researching the ethnic and cultural composition of Australia’s key public and private sector institutions, and propose ways to increase the number of Asian-Australians in senior leadership positions.
- Brokering conversations, promoting ideas, and exploring advocacy initiatives in support of Asian-Australian leaders and removing the ‘bamboo ceiling’.
- Delivering evidence-based educational training programs to empower and nurture emerging Asian-Australian leaders and encourage cultural change in workplaces.
- Developing a national roadmap for systemic change by redefining the measures of success for leadership, mechanisms for change and areas to leverage momentum within Asian-Australian communities and across industries and professions.
-
Strengthening the understanding and awareness of the potential of Asian-Australian leadership to promote and enhance diverse, authentic and inclusive leadership skills and qualities across our workplaces and nation.
The Centre's activities and impact are guided by four key strategic questions:
- How do we define the leadership gaps facing Asian-Australians?
- What are the benefits of more Asian-Australians becoming leaders?
- How can CAAL help close those gaps in Asian-Australian leadership?
- What can we do to ensure our Centre and its activities are financially sustainable?
