THE DR. VIBE SHOW - LAURA MORGAN ROBERTS AND ANTHONY J. MAYO - RACE WORK & LEADERSHIP - NEW PERSPECTIVES ON THE BLACK EXPERIENCE - OCTOBER 16 - 2019

Race, Work, and Leadership is a rare and important compilation of essays that examines how race matters in people’s experience of work and leadership. What does it mean to be black in corporate America today? How are racial dynamics in organizations changing? How do we build inclusive organizations?

– Today’s younger African Americans not having the same opportunities that younger African Americans had thirty years ago
– The status of diversity and inclusion in today’s professional work world and what can companies do to push it forward
– If affirmative action still necessary
– The effects that the wealth gap and affirmative action has on race, work and leadership
– Glass ceiling vs. glass cliff
– What African Americans want from the corporate environment
