Keith Wyche, President of the US Division of Pitney Bowes, will be the quest for the hour to discuss his new innovative career guide for minority professionals looking to break into the executive suite or attain leadership positions within American corporations.
From the power of perception to unavoidable double standards, Wyche exposes the realities about corporate thinking and culture, and provides essential advice on meeting these challenges head-on and winning.
Wyche details in his book that in corporate America today there is ‘the way it is’ and ‘the way it should be.’ “In many, many ways, we are much closer to ‘the way it should be,’ he says. “Yet in certain ways, today’s minority professionals -- all of them -- still have to reconcile their corporate advancement strategies with ‘the way it is’ in their corporate cultures, while still holding strong to their cultural integrity and core values.”
