Leap: Breaking Leadership Barriers - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Black women aren't failing organizations. Organizations are failing Black women.

Despite strong qualifications, proven performance, and deep commitment to their work, Black women continue to face barriers to advancement, sponsorship, and leadership opportunities. LEAP: Breaking Leadership Barriers Through Mentorship, Sponsorship, and Strategic Career Development moves past vague encouragement and generic DEI language to offer a practical, research-backed blueprint for change.

Grounded in Dr. Stacey L. Horn's doctoral research on Black women's leadership pathways in project management, this book introduces the LEAP Framework: Leadership development, Equitable access, Accountability structures, and Psychological safety and belonging. Each component comes with specific, actionable steps for the women navigating the system and for the leaders responsible for fixing it.

Inside this book, discover:

• Why the real problem isn't the pipeline, it's the leak, and what the retention crisis looks like inside organizations
• The invisible barriers that shape careers every day, from the "prove it again" bias to exclusion from informal networks
• How to build culturally responsive mentorship and sponsorship pathways that prepare leaders for the next level
• Practical ways to create fair promotion criteria, accountability structures, and measurement that keeps progress from stalling
• Self-advocacy strategies for Black women who can't wait for the system to catch up
• A step-by-step action plan, an organizational readiness assessment, and case studies for putting LEAP to work

Whether you are a Black woman ready to lead boldly, an HR professional, or a DEI decision-maker who wants to build something that lasts, LEAP gives you more than inspiration. It gives you a blueprint.

Empower. Elevate. Lead.
