Contents:
Corporate culture is critical -- Perception is critical -- Be visible -- Know when to move over and when to get out -- Career killers you must avoid -- Must have skills every senior leader needs -- Be more prepared than everyone else -- Overcoming gender bias -- Stay current to remain relevant -- Mentors and sponsors -- The importance of giving back -- The importance of not giving up.
Summary: A no-nonsense guide for minorities in business who want to make it to senior management. In recent decades, corporate America has gotten better at recruiting minority talent. But despite their education and hard work, too many African Americans, Latinos, and Asian Americans still find unique obstacles on the path to senior management. And there are too few minority mentors available to help them understand and overcome these challenges.
