Resumen del Editor

In Project Management: The Black Experience, Eric presents his direct and honest experience as an African American project manager in a White-dominated corporate world. He shares his 14+ years of experience and insights in the IT project management space of surviving as a Black project manager. This journey begins with a small-town kid from Bluefield, West Virginia, seeking to achieve his dreams but faced with the reality of his “good enough isn’t good enough”, as his parents taught him at an early age.

Project Management: The Black Experience serves as the survival guide for experienced and aspiring Black project managers. Eric shares the tactical principles to immediate add to your daily working experience to not only survive but excel as a Black project manager. These life-learned principles include:

• You must be two (sometimes 10) times better than your fellow White colleagues
• Your good enough isn’t enough as a Black project manager
• Break the cycle by helping other minority project managers
• Learn your voice and be you (professionally)
• How to adapt, survive, and excel in a White-dominated corporate culture

By combining his personal experiences and knowledge from his personal mentors, Eric hopes Project Management: The Black Experience will shed more light on the diversity gap in project management and empower us all (Blacks and Whites) to make a difference.

Thought this would be different?!?

Speaking as a minority. I feel this was a waste of a credit. Was looking for something else and entirely. Nearly zero project management discussion more general business and the biases that still exist.
Feels and reads more like a journal.
