DISRUPT 4.0. Filipina Women: BEING

DISRUPT 4.0. Filipina Women: BEING examines the leadership philosophy, styles, and traits of Filipina women leaders in a complex diaspora environment through individual life stories. With the rise of anti-Asian hate, this book's many authors provide a deep understanding of their struggles in bridging Filipino and global cultures in the workplace.

The leadership stories center around three themes:

• Liberation - Learning the right to live life as they've always wanted but couldn't because of the debilitating pressures of culture and outside forces.

• Transformation - Discovering the internal shifts that aligned with her highest potential

• Change - Experiencing new and exciting things that impacted how she related to the workplace and finding her place in it.

These narratives about Filipina leadership have implications for gender and intercultural leadership research practice and theories of women and how they lead.

This book answers the following:

1. What are the dominant leadership traits of Filipina women?

2. How does a Filipina woman leader lead and manage herself?

3. How does a Filipina woman leader lead and manage a team?

4. How does a Filipina woman leader lead and manage a department, a division, or an organization?
