Little Black Book Of Success(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　In this engaging and invaluable “mentor in your pocket,” three
dynamic and successful black female executives share their
strategies to 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-victimization (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.

　　Elaine Meryl Brown is vice president, special markets and
