Praise for WINDING PATHS TO SUCCESS
"Japan has embarked on the long journey to improve gender equality in the workplace. Winding Paths to Success is a refreshing read that both celebrates the women, who flourished despite the obstacles, and sends a strong message to business leaders to push for a more inclusive workplace."
--MASAHIKO UOTANI, Chairman and Group CEO, Shiseido Co., Ltd.
"The stories told by Kobayashi provide surprising and compelling new perspectives on the diverse ways Japanese professional women have navigated the obstacles they face."
--GEOFFREY JONES, Isidor Straus Professor of Business History, Harvard Business School
"Provoking, insightful and enjoyable. A powerful source of inspiration and ideas for leaders in business and beyond."
--JORGE GARDUÑO, President, Japan and South Korea, The Coca-Cola Company
"In these uncertain times where there is no one-size-fits-all path to success, the stories of the women so brilliantly illustrated in this book, provide real inspiration and encouragement to anyone thinking of stepping into a new stage in their career."
--GINKA TOEGEL, Professor of Leadership, IMD, Switzerland
"Equality in the workplace remains a pressing challenge and Nobuko's book offers innovative structural solutions, while also illustrating personal strategies to overcome adversity through the life stories of 12 trailblazing women. Working in a variety of careers, they find a common need for purpose -- believing that what they do matters and makes a real difference. A must-read for leaders and anyone striving for inclusive, purpose-driven workplaces."
--CARMINE DI SIBIO, Global Chairman and CEO, EY
"Winding Paths to Success beautifully captures the courage and creativity of the women who have built their career in the last decades. Their stories, and Nobuko Kobayashi's insights, provide a valuable perspective to leaders on how to tackle the systemic inequalities still present today."
--CHRIS MAZZEI, former Global Vice Chair Strategy, EY; Adjunct Professor at Cornell and NYU
"From each career episode of the Japanese women protagonists, emerge universal lessons -- double down on your core skills, turn disadvantages into advantages, and seize the right opportunities all while never losing empathy for others. Nobuko Kobayashi brilliantly captures the essence of long-term career and life success in Winding Paths to Success."
--DR. OTTO SCHULZ, board member of the German Sustainability Award Foundation
