Vanessa Priya Daniel on the three superpowers women of color bring to their leadership

Описание: In Unrig the Game: What Women of Color Can Teach Everyone About Winning (https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/bo...) , author Vanessa Priya Daniel (https://www.vanessapriyadaniel.com/) writes about the challenges that women of color face. She includes a satirical section formatted like a job description, where she details the duties of women of color leaders. They include “Be likable at all costs,” “Work with zero margin of error” and “Be a willing screen onto which your staff can project the other women authority figures who ever disappointed them in life.”


These are just a few of the barriers that women of color in leadership deal with. But despite these barriers, Daniel also points out that women of color are also often drivers of change.
