More about the Book: Professionals who perceive themselves—or are perceived by others—to be different often feel something prevents them from achieving the same career success as their colleagues. Many more doors are open today, but despite advances, these professionals wonder: Is the playing field truly level? Must they work twice as hard to receive opportunities? Do they have to sacrifice who they are to fit in?
It is not discrimination that impedes professionals. Rather, it is self-doubt, the lack of relational and influential proficiency, and the inability to overcome powerful societal messages.
In this book, Mike Hyter discusses the mindset individuals must adopt and the steps they must take to confront these challenges successfully. He draws on his experience as an African American in corporate America and the principles of Efficacy to show professionals how to boost their competence and confidence and achieve their aspirations.
Hyter believes that long-term career growth is the outcome of deliberate choices and effective effort—two cornerstones of Efficacy. The Power of Choice demonstrates how to build and sustain long-term career momentum by putting the principles of Efficacy into action. It also recounts professionals' real-world stories and the lessons they've learned.
Whether you are beginning to build your career or seeking to regain or sustain your momentum, this book offers sage advice and a timeless strategy. It is an essential career-building tool for diverse professionals who are looking to advance in today's competitive and fast-moving organizations.
