The term "bamboo ceiling" is a concept that describes the barriers faced by many Asian Americans in the professional arena, such as stereotypes and racism, particularly with ascending to top executive and leadership positions. The term, coined sometime in the 1980s and in use in the 1990s in the US, popularized in 2005 by Jane Hyun in Breaking the Bamboo Ceiling: Career Strategies for Asians, where she addresses those barriers while also providing solutions to overcome them. Hyun defines the bamboo ceiling a combination of individual, cultural, and organizational factors that impede Asian Americans' career progress inside organizations. The second in Hyun's "Bamboo Ceiling" book series is the 2024 title Leadership Toolkit for Asians: The Definitive Resource Guide for Breaking the Bamboo Ceiling which updates and expands on the content of the first book.
