This invaluable “mentor in your pocket” by three dynamic and successful black female executives will help all black women, at any level of their careers, play the power game—and win.
Rich with wisdom, this practical gem focuses on the building blocks of true leadership—self-confidence, effective communication, collaboration, and courage—while dealing specifically with stereotypes (avoid the Mammy Trap, and don’t become the Angry Black Woman) and the perils of self-victimization (don’t assume that every challenge occurs because you are black or female).
Some leaders are born, but most leaders are made—and The Little Black Book of Success will show you how to make it to the top, one step at a time.

A MUST read for every woman of color!!
This book was recommended by my sorority sister. Once I started reading I could not stop. I like the small chapters but they are PACKED with knowledge, action items and ways to look at yourself for development. This book was well written and felt applicable today despite the date of publication. I plan to encourage young women to read this book and apply it to their skillset upon graduating college. While reading I wondered how far along I could have been in my career if Iâd read this book sooner. No complaints about yesterday thatâs why I plan to pay it forward by sharing this book with others. After half way through, I purchased the workbook to slow down and really digest the material. The content is so applicable, you could re-read to help you deal with a situation and/or problem at work. BUY IT NOW and share!!â

Great for folk just starting out!
Great book, but for those just starting out and perhaps new to the workplace! As a mid-career professional, I had already self-taught a great deal of the practices that are shared in the book so that I could merely survive in the workplace.

Phenomenal Tool of Leadership and Survival for the Black and Educated (BAE) Professional
Ladies and Gentleman,This is a book I truly enjoyed and definitely needed. This book, The Little Black Book of Success: Law of Leadership for Black Women (TLBBOS) was a gift given to me ~10years ago by my mentor while I was in the officer ranks of the military. I used my original book so much….it got to the point that I needed to purchase another one. My mentor knew, as a young inner city black, smart, no non-sense Philadelphian, I needed help with my sharp tongue. It was very apparent to her I was never given professional survival skills or the “right” tools to use as a black female in the leadership world ( not all tools are in place for the black women to use) and most importantly, in the work environment leading other than black subordinates. I learned so much from this book; it gave me Pearls of Wisdom (POW) I still use and live by as a professional today.The book nickname is TLBBOS. For me and for many of my mentees, TLBBOS will always be a great reference that is easily retrieved, understood and believed. I am now a mentor to a group of professionals and this is the book I have purchased for each mentee and we have all agreed this book will be our “Bible” to use as Black and Educated (BAEs) professional in the challenging work force of today’s America.In addition to traditional prayer, we also look to use this book as our guidance as we discuss some of our unique and challenging experiences as BAE professionals. We are so thankful to the three dynamic women who realized black women are natural leaders but quit often they are not aware and even more of a problem, many of their employers and colleagues are not willing to accept them in the leadership equation. With TLBBOS black women will be cradled, awakened, groomed and guided using unique and personal tools by the three phenomenal authors on how to play the game in the work force and WIN.

I liked this book because we need more discussion and opinions on this subject. We need to change the status quo on women in the workplace it’s important for the future of business as a whole. Well done Ladies for. Being so bold. Would be interested in the feed back you received. Though I am sure it’s different for women in the USA from those of us in the UK, I Would have loved more help and advice for women onto is journey.Watch out for my forthcoming book 7 traits of highly successful women on boards… Views from the top and how to get there… Best of luck with it all

This book has almost everything you would need to succeed. The only thing that wasn’t given in this book was an actual kick saying “Hey! It’s one thing to read the book but when are you actually going to start practicing what I’ve preached?”The Little Black Book of Success, highlights the little “defaults” that are particular to women of color and coach them past it, to turn those minor “bad habbits” into advantages.

Great book and not too big a read. Easy on the eye and inspiring.

This book is just awesome. It teaches you how to handle yourself especially as a person who is willing to be in charge. It gives you advices and recommendations on how to manage and handle yourself. Plus it is really easy to read it. I would recommend this book to any black women that wishes to have any leading positions in the future. However, Iâd say that it focuses mainly on black women in the US or any Western countries, itâs have been good if there were a bit more on Black women in Africa.
