Black people face many challenges when trying to ascend to corporate leadership positions. They may often be passed over for promotion in favor of less-qualified white candidates.Additionally, studies have shown that black employees are more likely to be disciplined or fired than their white counterparts even when they perform equally or better in their jobs. They are also more vulnerable to racist microaggressions or tokenism in the workplace. Those who succeed may also struggle to keep their position for a long period.How do they avoid all these? Our episode in And The Question Is provides a fitting answer. Together with our resource persons, Dr. Randal Pinkett and Dr. Jeffrey Robinson, authors of “Black Faces in High Places, we tackle ten strategic actions that will bring blacks into C-level positions—and help them stay there.We then elaborate on the specific traits and values that blacks need to embody and adapt to succeed in the corporate jungle.This episode is crucial because it is only when we see more black faces in high places that we can hope to create a more inclusive society and workplace.

Diversity Matters with Oscar Holmes IV Season 3 Episode 2 Episode Title: Black Faces in High Places Guest: Dr. Jeffrey A. Robinson Diversity Matters with Oscar Holmes IV is a podcast that explores all things diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) related. In each episode, Oscar and his guests have lively discussions around DEI topics, explore the latest research on the topic, and discuss the implications so that listeners will be more knowledgeable about the topics and be able to apply the insights to their lives. Show Summary: “The Black Faces in High Places book is not just about getting your success; it's undoubtedly a matter of seeking significance and impact on our community, the black community.” People of color sometimes find it challenging to succeed in corporations or institutions led mainly by white people because of systems and culture. The black community has so much talent, but discrimination and being outnumbered by white people can make it more difficult to climb the corporate ladder, which adds multiple barriers to dominating the competitive world. And that's how the book was written twelve years ago by Jeffrey Robinson, the Prudential Chair in Business at Rutgers Business School & Randal Pinkett. It is where they shared 10 revolutionary strategies for playing & changing the game to transform the system not only for them but the whole community. And in this episode, they talk about the new book, , which aims to help the black professionals reach the top and stay there. Listen until the end of the episode and be more confident in breaking down the barriers that prevent you from having a real opportunity to make it to high places. Know what's the importance of having a mentor, a great network, and how you can find meaning in what you do to attain success. 3 Exceptional Highlights: Mentors help develop great entrepreneurs, great business leaders, and great community leaders. Ikigai is developing self-mastery and finding meaning in what you do. In entrepreneurship, the type of network you need to be successful is the entrepreneurial network: the sparse network that takes advantage of borrowing networks from other folks. Show Highlights: How is your previous book, Black Faces in White Places, connected to your new book, Black Faces in High Places? 2:44 Jeffrey Robinson Black Faces in White Places was level one. It's what happens when you enter the workforce & how do you deal with it. There are certainly some parallels between the two books because we had a lot of things we wrote the first time around that we didn't use and weren't able to use. So we had already thought to ourselves, some of those things we couldn't write in the first book one day, we'll write in the second book. Finally, that day came. And that's how we got to the new book, Black Faces in High Places. Why is it important to have a game changer's mindset? 8:00 Jeffrey Robinson You're playing a series of games whether we are in a corporation or academic institution. When you have achieved success in that game, you have to think if that's the right game to play for you & other people like you. The game changes when you start rethinking the system & how it's played to make it more equitable. And if you can transform the system for the communities, corporations, and institutions to make the game better for those who are coming behind you, you have the game changer mindset. What are the top three strategies that you'd suggest people focus on? 12:50 Jeffrey Robinson Ikigai Networking Mentorship Is it possible that black people can do all the strategies and still not make it to the top? 37:29 Jeffrey Robinson Some people change careers; they either start their businesses or hit certain ceilings in their companies. In contrast, some decide to focus on their families. But don't assume that when we say high places, it's only in the corporation because there are many ways to make an impact, be successful, and be significant. Technically, some people could do all of these things and still not make it. But the question is, did they see all the opportunities in front of them? Do they think about where they could make the most impact and use their skills best?

MEET THE AUTHORS, LIVE! On March 12, 2022 at 9pm London, UK / 4pm Eastern, U.S.A./ 2pm Arizona, U.S.A. / 1pm Pacific U.S.A. we met with Dr. Jeffrey A. Robinson, Don Muchow, Marc Neuffer and Howard Loring to discuss their inspiration and process of writing the stories narrated on our podcast. We asked Marc Neuffer "Where do you get story ideas? How do you develop them?" We asked Howard Loring "How exactly do you use the ideas of Classical Myth?” and “What is an Epic Fable?” We asked Jeff "What do you think the elements are of good science fiction?" And Don Muchow answered the question "Where do you get the inspiration for your stories?” Their answers may not be what you think and are VERY insightful! I also asked them each the NAIL BITER question..."What do you think of Melissa's narration of your stories?" and "How did it feel handing over your story for someone else to interpret and narrate?" You'll also learn about their sense of mission and what they are hoping you get from their fantastical storytelling. We know you'll love what you hear and hope you will engage us with comments on our YouTube Channel! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcEMLFE2eyyCQ6W_joTnNuw --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/untold-tales/support

Coautl: A zoologist finds himself marooned on a mysterious island a hundred miles off the Georgia coast where evolution has kicked into overdrive. But after he returns to his stranded boat, he can no longer find the island--and will anyone really believe his story? Another story by our cross-country running, T1 phenomenon, Don Muchow! A lifelong advocate of immersive, dystopian SF, he believes that buried in the shadows of every dark future lies the inextinguishable spirit of hope and the yearning for a better tomorrow.

A Day in the Life Of : If you look at it from one perspective, we're all time travelers, headed to the future; just one day at a time. This episode was challenging for a Latina American woman with a natural Midwestern American accent! Thanks to dialect coach Tom Antonellis (http://www.thickskincreations.com/dialects/ ), I was able to get a tiny bit closer to doing the character of "John" with ~some~ justice! Thank you in advance to those with French-accented English who will show me some love and performance grace. I hope you enjoy this "stranger's" personality and story. A witty and INTRIGUING premise it is by our own Dr. Jeffrey A. Robinson!

https://www.leanblog.org/380Today's episode, #380, is very special to me for a number of reasons. For one, it's part of the #RootCauseRacism series that Deondra Wardelle has organized on my blog this week. Secondly, I'm joined by Dr. Randal Pinkett and Dr. Jeffrey Robinson to talk about important issues of race, diversity, and equity in organizations. Together, they are co-authors of the book Black Faces in White Places: 10 Game-Changing Strategies to Achieve Success and Find Greatness and the upcoming book (2021) Black Faces in High Places.Randal Pinkett, Ph.D. is an entrepreneur, speaker, author, and community servant. Randal is the co-founder, Chairman and CEO of his fifth venture, BCT Partners, a multimillion dollar management, technology and policy consulting firm in Newark, NJ, a partner in Blackwell-BCT, a joint venture with Blackwell Consulting Services, and spokesperson for the Minority Information Technology Consortium. He is a Rhodes Scholar and former college athlete who holds five academic degrees from Rutgers, Oxford and MIT (including the Leaders for Global Operations program). He was also famously the first and only black winner of “The Apprentice,” something we will talk about today.Jeffrey A. Robinson, Ph.D. is an award winning business school professor, international speaker and entrepreneur. Since 2008, he has been a leading faculty member at Rutgers Business School where he is an assistant professor of management and entrepreneurship and the founding Assistant Director of The Center for Urban Entrepreneurship & Economic Development.

He has an MS in Civil Engineering Management from Georgia Tech University and a Ph.D. in Management from Columbia University.In the episode, we talk about workplace issues related to diversity and inclusion. Should we aspire to a “color blind” world or do we need to recognize and celebrate color? What can we do to turn “white places” into more inclusive places for all? How can the “innovation economy” be made more inclusive, and why is that important?You'll also hear Randal talk about recently re-watching his season of The Apprentice online with his daughter. You can watch a separate 8-minute clip (an excerpt from the full interview) if you are particularly interested in his reflections about winning and being asked to share his win with the runner up. What did Randal learn while working in the Trump Organization?I hope you enjoy the conversation, whether you listen or watch (or read the transcript below).
