A great book that shows one does not have to negate who they are in order to be successful. In fact, it even helps understand how to proudly embrace a Latino background as part of one's identity. I would recommend this book for Latinos looking to enter the business world in the US, anyone interested in the Latino experience in the US, and anyone that has experienced the embarrasing moment of standing in front of a large group of clients having said something that sounded "dirty" because of accent inflections - yes, there is still success after that (check out the story of the executive that prefers to use the word "bedding" instead of sheets). I believe the authors' met their goal by compiling great stories that offer lessons learned and successes along the way to the top. Truly inspiring!

Latino CEOs and executives reveal career secrets that helped them overcome obstacles. The book is available in Spanish with the title Exito Latino.

My public library catalog decribes it this way: "The candid, inspiring stories in this book reveal the secrets that have helped Latinos make it to the top in a variety of businesses and industries. Readers will discover how to manage people, prepare and set goals, and deal with racism or sexism in the workplace."
