This book is a must-have for every corporate onboarding program! Celiwe Ross, Human Capital Director at Old Mutual, has extensive experience working with top companies such as Deloitte, Google, and McKinsey.

Including advice and anecdotes from 30 successful Black leaders across Africa, Europe, and North America, Intelligence Isn't Enough aims to empower young Black graduates just entering the workforce and Black professionals already at work. It teaches them how to survive and thrive in corporate spaces, take a strategic approach to their careers, and understand themselves and others more deeply.

Intelligence Isn't Enough is the ultimate guide for Black professionals seeking to stand out, and show up as their best and most authentic selves at work. It is a valuable resource for anyone looking to advance their career and achieve success in the corporate world.
