Description
Ellen E. Grant, a successful black businesswoman, expands on the ideas she introduced in her first book, Managing in Black and White, in this self-help guide to marketing yourself to succeed in the business world. In earning several degrees, including a doctorate, she overcame obstacles that quashed the dreams of many of her peers. She did it through a combination of hard work, blessings, and a mentor who knew she could contribute. Whether you’re a black woman or belong to a different group, you’ll find her insights and lessons instructive. She explains the challenges that women–particularly women of color–face in the workplace, including a wage gap, fewer opportunities for advancement, and limited opportunities for engaging with others outside the office. More importantly, she explores why you should view yourself as a product that you need to convince others that they need. By emphasizing skills, experiences, or perhaps an ability to navigate different situations or interact with different people, you’ll begin to separate yourself from the crowd. Empower yourself with inside information to develop leadership skills, become a better networker, and climb the corporate ladder with the lessons in Management
