Is the model for a whiteman to climb the ladder of success the same as one for a chinese man in america? Are there social barriers that prevent the chinese man from moving up to the executive suite?

is this a serious question? are you racist? im not saying a chinese man doesnt stand a better chance in getting on with a company that has chinese executives. but youll never get anywhere if you are going to fall back on race as an excuse.. be the best at what you are doing and youll make it as far as you want
Of course, its called the glass ceiling…
I kind of like this question, because the larger your group of competition, the more difficult it is to move up. I do believe that in a world where affirmative action is so important in hiring and promoting, that in companies that value affirmative action, that it is more difficult for members of the largest group in North America (white males) to climb the ladder.
So to answer your question, do something to differentiate yourself from the masses, make sure that something is value added to the company, and do it better and faster than everyone else. The only way to beat the masses is through differentiation and performance.
The BEST way to make money is to own your own business. More people have made more money by owning the place where they work than any other way. How? By coming up with an idea! Not just any idea, rather, making something out of nothing and having it be used by millions of people.
