The model helps readers improve personal, professional, and political skills; understand their own and others' insecurities; and asses their organization's culture and learn to operate in it successfully.This revised edition has been thoroughly updated and features a new section on job mastery that lays out strategies for breaking through the "glass ceiling" that continues to thwart advancement. The Black Manager will help all readers - black and nonblack - to be more effective in today's increasingly diverse workplace.
A frank, no-nonsense guide to making it in corporate America! "This revised and updated edition of the 1982 classic is full of strategies, models, common sense, and even work sheets. And it rings with authenticity."--Black Enterprise.
