Black Faces in White Places

10 Game-Changing Strategies to Achieve Success and Find Greatness

De: Randal D. Pinkett, Jeffrey A. Robinson, Philana Patterson

Narrado por: Arnell Powel, Ron Butler

If the name Randal Pinkett sounds familiar, it may be because Pinkett was the first African American winner on The Apprentice. When he won, this black man also became the only contestant to be asked to share his victory - with a white woman. The request (and Pinkett's subsequent refusal) set off a firestorm of controversy that inevitably focused on the issue of race in the American workplace and in society. For generations, African Americans have been told that to succeed, they need to work twice as hard as everyone else. But as millions of black Americans were reminded by Pinkett's experience, sometimes hard work is not enough.

Black Faces in White Places is about "the game" - that is, the competitive world in which we all live and work. The audiobook offers 10 revolutionary strategies for playing, mastering, and changing the game for the current generation, while undertaking a wholesale redefinition of the rules for those who will follow. It is not only about shattering the old "glass ceiling" but also about examining the four dimensions of the contemporary black experience: identity, society, meritocracy, and opportunity. Ultimately, it is about changing the very concept of success itself.

Based on the authors' considerable experiences in business, in the public eye, and in the minority, the audiobook shows how African American professionals can (and must) think and act both entrepreneurially and "intrapreneurially", combine their collective strengths with the wisdom of others, and plant the seeds of a positive and lasting legacy.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

ONE TO STUDY

The best book i have ever read....besisdes the bible of course. this book is not only worth study but worth holding classes wear this book is the curriculum.

For youth it is a must read

This book is a must read for any African American young person who strives to achieve success. It is informative and packed full of recommendations for surviving and thriving in the world.

Phenomenal read for any person of color

Corporate America was never designed for black and brown Americans , if anything the entire premise of it was for us to get a degree, work very hard and never make it to the C-Suite

Well times are thankfully changing (glacially slow) and this book is the best book I have ever read on systematically walking Black and Brown people on how to learn the game, Play the game, dominate the game and ultimately go create you own game in regards to corporate America .

I knew Randall was something special on the 2004 Apprentice finale and watching Donald Trump try to sabotage him on national TV,, and it’s been amazing reading this book and learning from such a great entrepreneur and professional about how I dominate corporate America and go out and start your own business that dominates corporate America

Thank you!

Great book to expose black individuals to concepts and a community of black leadership in the corporate world in the absence of examples one may experience locally.

Absolute Masterpiece

Must read for any Black face aspiring not only to succeed in life, but build on the legacy of greatness in making America better.

Great advice for everyone

Great advice for people of any race. I found it very helpful and insightful as a white man. I really liked the emphasis on building large, scalable and “triple bottom line” enterprises, not just another small local business.

EXCELLENT EXAMPLE of Our Greatness

Black Faces in White Place is more than a “how to”guide; it is also testament of what it means to be FEARLESS in our service to humanity.

It is definitely a GAME CHANGER in my life as the reader.

This is not only knowledge, but wisdom for your career if you're willing to put in the work!

Playbook for redefining the game

This book is a hidden gem! Solid info, well written from start to finish. The thing I enjoyed most were the clear steps, illustrations and examples given
