The Little Black Book of Success

In The Little Black Book of Success, three high-powered, seasoned, black female executives become the mentor every woman wants as she climbs the corporate ladder. This book contains gems of leadership principles, behaviours, and skills from the authors' 90 years of collective corporate experience and is written in a tone that combines hard-learned lessons with indisputable mother wit.

With chapters like "Aretha Was Right," where the authors demonstrate why it is better to be respected than liked, and "The N-word," where they explain how to turn social engagements into networking opportunities, The Little Black Book of Success is a perfect gift for recent grads and an invaluable resource for women at all stages of their careers.

This invaluable "mentor in your pocket" by three dynamic and successful black female executives will help all black women, at any level of their careers, play the power game—and win.

Rich with wisdom, this practical gem focuses on the building blocks of true leadership—self-confidence, effective communication, collaboration, and courage—while dealing specifically with stereotypes (avoid the Mammy Trap, and don't become the Angry Black Woman) and the perils of self-victimisation (don't assume that every challenge occurs because you are black or female).

Some leaders are born, but most leaders are made—and The Little Black Book of Success will show you how to make it to the top, one step at a time.
