From the Outside in by Renee Blank & Sandra Slipp & Vincent Ford

Seven Strategies for Success When You're Not a Member of the Dominant Group in Your Workplace

Diversity may be the buzz word in corporate America, but the reality is that it's still young, white, straight men that dominate most corporate cultures. This proactive guide supplies seven strategies for breaking through the barrier of "difference" and enjoying a more successful career. Despite all the lip service paid to diversity in the workplace, most women, African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Latinos, gays, disabled, and older workers are still struggling to overcome the barrier of "difference" blocking their careers. It's a hard reality, but not a good reason for them to quit trying. Instead, the authors of the acclaimed Voices of Diversity advocate a better, more effective strategy for advancing their careers -- without sacrificing their identities or dignity. Based on extensive research and firsthand interviews, and loaded with real-life workplace scenarios and success stories, From the Outside In explains how to: break past assumptions of hostility -- muster support -- accentuate the positive -- buy in without selling out -- and more proven strategies for breaking through the concrete ceiling and enjoying a successful career.
