Arturo Nunez: The Culture Compass, Gebunden

Blurb

A compelling and nuanced guide detailing the skills necessary for people of color to thrive in corporate America, particularly at the C-Suite level, without compromising one's own identity and integrity. With the percentage of ethnic and racial minorities reaching unprecedented heights in corporate America, we're in uncharted territory regarding how this growing demographic navigates companies with cultures that can be foreign, alienating, and downright hostile to these shifts in the workplace. The Culture Compass provides its readers with the tangible skills, insights, and practices that make this shift in corporate leadership more than a trend, but sustainable. Harder than getting these positions for minorities is keeping them, and the primary difficulty consistent in attainting and maintaining this seat of power is the dearth of people who have the unique experience of negotiating the politics of the boardroom, the hypervisibility of being the "only one" or "one of the few" at the table, and the responsibility that comes with representation. With over twenty years of C-suite experience, Arturo Nuñez has worked at the world's largest companies: he served as the VP of Latin America for the National Basketball Association, the Global VP of Basketball Marketing for Nike, the Head of Marketing of Latin America for Apple, and was recently elected to Estee Lauder's board of directors. It's easy to regard Nuñez as an avatar for the concept of the American exception, but The Culture Compass seeks to rewrite this narrative and provide the reader with the tools they need to advance to the C-suite.
