MODERN LEADER

In this audiobook by a rags-to-riches CEO lauded for his success and humane leadership, the author challenges minority workers and corporate leaders to be proactive about barriers to success in the corporate world. Dion Graham narrates with dramatic flair and fervor for McCormick's message. McCormick himself narrates, as well, speaking from the heart about his life and views during the periodic author interviews included in this audiobook. Graham, who is African American like McCormick, sounds genuinely moved by the CEO's story. This lesson--old-school but never preachy--challenges listeners to work hard and not feel helpless in the face of society's obstacles. McCormick's enthusiasm and compelling life story make this an effective work for both marginalized job seekers and unenlightened corporate gatekeepers.
