Discover how African-American professionals can combine their personal strengths with the wisdom of others to plant the seeds of a positive, lasting legacy in the workplace.
Randal Pinkett was the first African-American winner on The Apprentice. When he won, he also became the only contestant to be asked to share his victory with a white woman.
For generations, African-Americans have been told that they need to work twice as hard as everyone else to succeed. However, as millions of black Americans were reminded by Pinkett’s experience, sometimes hard work is not enough.
Black Faces in White Places is about “the game”, the competitive world in which we all live and work. The book offers 10 revolutionary strategies for playing, mastering, and changing the game for the current generation, while undertaking a wholesale redefinition of the rules for those who will follow.
In this book, you will:
Expand yourself beyond your comfort zoneRecognize and demonstrate the four facets of excellenceBuild beneficial relationships and powerful networksIdentify different mentors and learn from others’ experiencesDiscover ways of working with others to facilitate collective action
Based on the authors’ considerable experiences in business, in the public eye, and in the minority, the book shows how African-American professionals can (and must) think and act both entrepreneurially and “intrapreneurially”.
Black Faces in White Places not only explains shattering the old “glass ceiling” and changing the concept of success, but also examines the four dimensions of the contemporary black experience: identity, society, meritocracy, and opportunity.
