| Summary |
Based on more than a thousand in-depth interviews with black executives as well as on the authors' own extensive experience in training leaders₇ and as leaders themselves₇ 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 Caver₇ from the Center for Creative Leadership₇ 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. |
