| 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.
