Review
“Be prepared to be challenged, to face your personal beliefs about prejudice, oppression, equity and fairness and examine your ideas about what it takes to lead a diverse organization....has significance for those serious about effectively leading diverse schools and districts. Cross offers insight into creating awareness, providing needed education, reaching understanding and taking action.”–The School Administrator
“This book is not a gloss-over, but a challenge to confront the harsh "reality of oppression" of people of color, White women, gays, lesbians and bisexuals, and people with disabilities....I found the book interesting, informative, and a valuable addition to a collection of diversity-relared resource.”–Personel Psychology
Book Description
Elsie Y. Cross draws on her own experiences as an African American woman to provide the practical assistance today's organizational leaders need. She demonstrates how oppression functions at the individual, group, and systems levels, and makes clear that if executives are to solve these problems in the workplace, they must confront their own emotional and psychological barriers first. Not a memoir but a knowledgeable, reasoned explication of a complex and complete system of organizational change, Cross' book is a major contribution to our understanding of gender and cultural problems, and a sign of hope that both can be solved.
