 Ladies and Gentleman, This is a book I truly enjoyed and definitely needed. This book, The Little Black Book of Success: Law of Leadership for Black Women (TLBBOS) was a gift given to me ~10years ago by my mentor while I was in the officer ranks of the military. I used my original book so much….it got to the point that I needed to purchase another one. My mentor knew, as a young inner city black, smart, no non-sense Philadelphian, I needed help with my sharp tongue. It was very apparent to her I was never given professional survival skills or the “right” tools to use as a black female in the leadership world ( not all tools are in place for the black women to use) and most importantly, in the work environment leading other than black subordinates. I learned so much from this book; it gave me Pearls of Wisdom (POW) I still use and live by as a professional today. The book nickname is TLBBOS. For me and for many of my mentees, TLBBOS will always be a great reference that is easily retrieved, understood and believed. I am now a mentor to a group of professionals and this is the book I have purchased for each mentee and we have all agreed this book will be our “Bible” to use as Black and Educated (BAEs) professional in the challenging work force of today’s America. In addition to traditional prayer, we also look to use this book as our guidance as we discuss some of our unique and challenging experiences as BAE professionals. We are so thankful to the three dynamic women who realized black women are natural leaders but quit often they are not aware and even more of a problem, many of their employers and colleagues are not willing to accept them in the leadership equation. With TLBBOS black women will be cradled, awakened, groomed and guided using unique and personal tools by the three phenomenal authors on how to play the game in the work force and WIN.

This is informative and just what I needed to give me a boost with my career goals. The chapters are concise and get good information as to what you should do to advance your career. Not just for Black Women, anyone can benefit from this book!

Great book – recommend to anyone working in a corporate setting.

This book is an easy read and offers great suggestions to achieve success in todays society. The authors touched on relevant issues that affect African American women in various career settings in addition to a REALISTIC approach to handling issues. Great book, VERY HARD to put put down!! Plan to share book with friends or purchase additional copies as gifts. Informative and very motivational.

A must read for black women in business!

The MAMAisms brought the points home. The book was formatted in a way that was easy to follow. I didn’t want to put this book down. I have read it twice already!

Love it!

Awesome read and very helpful to anyone wanting to progress professionally.

I happen to watch this author’s interview on FOX NEWS and I loved her passion to share a bit of reality that awaits young ambitioned, very able young ladies of color. I met a good friend’s daughter(13) who impressed me so telling me her best friend’s mother was prejudice so they had to hide their friendship. I said no she is an ignorant bigot! Her daughter was so sweet and pleasant to talk too. I thought of this book immediately and read the reviews, all positive many older women saying they wish they had it back in their day and couldn’t wait to gift it. I finally read one who gifted it to her neice (13) I was almost giddy when she told me she was ready for the workbook. Next paycheck..

This book does a great job of covering many situations that arise in a leadership/corporate position. So many good gems!

Great book with wonderful insights and advice for navigating the corporate culture!

All college bound women and buisness bound women and women bound for leaders must read.

This book contains a lot of common sense advice, but it is nice to have as a reminder. I have pulled it out twice since I read it to read a quote to myself and an excerpt to my boss who is also a woman. I will keep this handy for years to come.

This book was recommended by my sorority sister. Once I started reading I could not stop. I like the small chapters but they are PACKED with knowledge, action items and ways to look at yourself for development. This book was well written and felt applicable today despite the date of publication. I plan to encourage young women to read this book and apply it to their skillset upon graduating college. While reading I wondered how far along I could have been in my career if I’d read this book sooner. No complaints about yesterday that’s why I plan to pay it forward by sharing this book with others. After half way through, I purchased the workbook to slow down and really digest the material. The content is so applicable, you could re-read to help you deal with a situation and/or problem at work. BUY IT NOW and share!!’

This book contains excellent practical tips and advice that can be immediately put into action in the workplace regardless of professional level. This work speaks directly to black women describing our “silent storms” and effective ways that we can address them without committing career suicide.

This is a really great book. It is inspiring and motivational. It is really perfect for any professional. They provide great guidance fro minority professionals about how to function in the workplace and how to handle adversity and succeed and to maintain your sanity. It is a must have for minority professioanals but really for any professional.

This is an excellent book to guide black women or any women through the steps in the business world. The Herculean courage it takes to achieve success in the business world today is enormous. Thank you to the women who wrote this book and took the time out of their busy schedules in life to give us a blueprint to our future in the business world.

I absolutely love this book! This book is very motivational and I often refer back to it! I even purchased the audible version.LaQuenta

As I work to develop myself. I benefited from this book as there are many strategies mentioned which I’ve used within my own business, which focuses on developing businesses and individuals. Our hastag/mantra is #evolutionNprogress and literature likes this helps to continue the growth.

Every woman who read

Key tidbits for any level for women of color. A must read that you will continually come back to. Even if you’re entry-level, these tips will help you move up and be impactful.

I have a busy schedule so I haven’t been able to finish it yet, but I’m almost done and I think it’s a great read for someone trying to advance and become a better person as well as become a successful better person. It’s good for all races

Love, Love, Love!!! I’m so happy to re-read.

This book is amazing. I got this because it was on my book clubs reading list. This book is of use to anyone woman, regardless of race. It provides wonderful insight into the career lives of successful women and how they got to the top. They also provide common pitfalls that many women make during their careers and how to work through those things. The most helpful thing I found about this book was that at the end of each chapter they give you a to-do-list, kind of like homework, for you to check on what your problem areas are and ways to improve them and just helpful information in general. It’s a great book.

Great read.. Enjoyed the tips.

Very inspirational, I plan to use all the skills taught in the book. Awesome read with great lessons. Love it

I started a new leadership position, this book taught me how to play the “game” and maintain! I love it

I have used lots of these suggestions on how to handle my business. Have given it out to many people

I really enjoyed reading this book. It gave me the encouragement/push I needed.

This book is excellent as must buy by….I thought it was going to be something for the elderly but its for everyone im in my early 30s an I find this book to be very useful -purposeful, interesting etc I love this book…you can learn a lot from this book

This book is awesome! As a recent college graduate and young African American woman just starting her career, I would definitely recommend this book to other professionals.Even though this book speaks mainly to African American women I feel that overall it could be helpful to a woman of any race and, particularly helpful to a woman beginning her first “Big Girl” job.This book is extremely informative and covers a broad range of topics from attitudes and self-esteem to racism in the workplace. It also includes tips regarding controlling emotions in the workplace (something I find particularly challenging as a sensitive person) and how to communicate effectively with colleagues and managers. It also includes a few chapters about effective leadership styles.I’m glad I bought this book and find it to be extremely useful, so much that I often highlight important passages and write notes in the margins.

I love this book already and I’m not even halfway done. It has helped me redefine some pivotal moments in my life where I questioned my abilities and confidence level. I will make an updated review when I get done.

I love love this book

I just got this book a few days ago, and I can’t put it down, not only is it a helpful tool for business, it’s an awesome reminder of how awesome, beautiful and amazing we are as black women, and we have the ability to do anything we put our mind to

THIS IS A GREAT AND i MEAN GREAT BOOK FOR BLACK WOMEN IN CORPORATE AMERICA. WHETHER YOU ARE JUST STARTING OUT OR A SEASONED PROFESSIONAL. HIGHLY RECOMMMENED. READ I TWICE.. YOU WILL ENJOY IT IF YOU ARE A GO-GETTER TRYING TO REACH THE TOP OF YOUR GAME… HAPPY READ… YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

Good Book, Strong Message and positive successful plan.

I am actually still reading the book; however, it is very useful in self-reflection and learning how to hone in rather than remove or assimilate. I think every black women in college should be reading this in a DeCal class and doing some heavy analysis on it since there is not many black women in these particular positions willing, able, or accessible to dole out this pertinent information. Thanks for the signed copy as well as the bookmarks that came with book!!! 🙂

Super helpful for black women in any industry! Nice gift for a young woman in college or out of high school.

This book has uplifted my spirits and allowed me to broaden my horizons. I have shared this book with all my fellow peers. Amazing book.Great job ladies.

I have and will continue to recommend this book to women I know. Lots of actionable items found throughout this book.

I totally enjoyed this book! I am certain that I will frequently refer back to this book in the future as a reminder to myself.
