这本书是为任何想了解在工作中更加包容意味着什么的人准备的,尤其是当它涉及到黑人领导人时。它适用于那些在理解和谈论工作中的种族时说“我不知道从哪里开始”、“我不知道该做什么”和“我不知道该说什么”的人。基于对30位成功的黑人领导人的坦诚采访,它剥离了组织中英国黑人领导人的多层面,为思考英国黑人的经历提供了一种新的方式。
这本书提供了在工作中就种族问题进行积极对话所需的见解和想法,以及创造黑人领袖能够茁壮成长的工作环境所需的见解和想法。在确定成功黑人领导人的共同属性和行为时,本书提供了思考工作中黑人的新方法,有助于进一步包容。它揭示了在工作场所担任黑人领导者的日常现实,为围绕包容性的对话提供了一个替代切入点,并探索了个人和组织可以做些什么来增加工作场所的包容性。通过第一手的故事,这本书探讨了黑人遇到的挑战、妥协、斗争和成功,以及他们在“白人”工作场所取得成功所采用的一系列策略。
对于私营、公共和第三部门的商业领袖、人力资源专业人士、学生、任何教授或指导黑人学生或领导人的人,以及所有有兴趣了解种族和进一步融入工作场所的人来说,这本书都是必不可少的读物。
The Model Black: How Black British Leaders Succeed in Organisations and Why It Matters
This book is for anyone who wants to understand what being more inclusive at work means, especially as it relates to black leaders. It is intended for those people who are saying “I don’t know where to start,” “I don’t know what to do” and “I don’t know what to say” when understanding and talking about race at work. Based on candid interviews with 30 successful black leaders, it peels away the multifaceted layers of black British leaders in organisations to offer a new way of thinking about the black British experience.
This book provides the insights and ideas required to have positive conversations about race at work and to create work environments where black leaders can thrive. In identifying the attributes and behaviours that successful black leaders have in common, this book offers new ways of thinking about black people at work that help to further inclusion. It shines a light on the daily reality of being a black leader in the workplace, providing an alternative entry point for conversations around inclusion and explores what individuals and organisations can do to increase inclusion in the workplace. Through first-hand stories this book explores the challenges, compromises, struggles and successes that black people encounter, and the range of strategies they employ to achieve success as they navigate the “white” workplace.
It is essential reading for business leaders in the private, public and third sector, human resources professionals, students, anyone teaching or mentoring black students or leaders and everyone interested in understanding race and furthering inclusion in the workplace.
