Leading in Black and White: Working Across the Racial Divide in Corporate America Hardcover - 2002 - 1st Edition

by Ancella Livers; Keith Caver


Summary

Many blacks in the workplace face a set of dynamics unique to being African American in a traditionally white, male-dominated world. In this landmark book, authors Ancella Livers and Keith Caver-- co-facilitators of the Center for Creative Leadership's African-American Leadership Program for the past five years-- explain how the leadership experience for blacks is radically different from the experiences of their white colleagues. These differences, of which most white managers are unaware, can lead to miscues and distortions in communication and ultimately get in the way of effective performance and optimal productivity for organizations. In Leading in Black and White, the authors not only clearly explain how things go wrong, they also provide sensible solutions for both the white manager and the black manager on how to make them right.

From the rear cover

Based on more than a thousand in-depth interviews with black executives as well as on the authors' own extensive experience in training leaders-- and as leaders themselves-- Leading in Black and White reveals the everyday reality for African American executives in the predominantly white world of American business, education, and government. Ancella Livers and Keith Caver-- from the highly acclaimed Center for Creative Leadership-- give a clear picture to all executives of the challenges black leaders face and offer solid recommendations to both white and black managers on how to work together more effectively.
