Drawing on half a decade spent in public service and politics, Anson Chan shares the many challenges and lessons learned highlighting that success doesn't require women to become more like a man but to be themselves without giving up assertiveness. As the first woman to become the Chief Secretary of Hong Kong, Chan describes the need to change pre-conceived notions about the role of women in society and urges women to earn and nurture leadership.
Anson Chan retired as the Chief Secretary for Administration of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government in 2001, after nearly forty years of service. As Chief Secretary, she headed the 190,000-strong civil service and was the first woman and the first ethnically Chinese person to hold the second-highest governmental position in Hong Kong.
