By A Customer
This review is from: The Black Manager: Making It in the Corporate World (Paperback)
This is an excellent book. It does an excellent job of identifying the frustrations faced by minorities in Corporate America. It provides pratical soultions to many of the problems faced, as well as the underlying cause for the problem. Every Human Resource/Organizational Development Manager should have a copy of this book. This book should also be required reading for Managers participating in their coporate mentoring programs.
