The Power of Choice

Mehr zum Buch

Professionals who feel different often struggle to achieve the same career success as their peers, questioning whether the playing field is truly level. Despite more opportunities today, they wonder if they must work harder or sacrifice their identities to fit in. The barriers they face are not just discrimination but also self-doubt, a lack of relational skills, and the impact of societal messages. Michael Hyter addresses these challenges by outlining the mindset and steps needed for success. Drawing from his experience as an African American in corporate America, he emphasizes the principles of Efficacy to enhance competence and confidence. Long-term career growth, he argues, stems from deliberate choices and effective effort, which are foundational to Efficacy. The book illustrates how to cultivate sustained career momentum through actionable principles and shares real-world stories from professionals who have learned vital lessons. Key insights include the importance of more than just hard work and credentials, recognizing that stagnation poses a greater risk than failure, and the necessity of building relationships at all organizational levels. Whether starting or seeking to maintain career momentum, this book serves as a valuable resource for diverse professionals aiming to thrive in competitive environments.
