In this captivating and updated edition of "Take a Lesson: Today's Black Achievers on How They Made It and What They Learned Along the Way," renowned journalist and author Caroline Clarke once again invites a dynamic roster of Black business heroes and role models to candidly share their personal goals, triumphs, and setbacks, delving into the challenges they overcame and the obstacles they continue to navigate, not just for their own success but also for their peers and aspiring peers who face ongoing equity barriers.

Within these pages, readers will discover:

Revised interviews with Black corporate titans offering invaluable insights into the keys to business success

Deeply personal accounts of the remarkable journeys of Black superachievers from diverse backgrounds and industries who are still ascending the ranks in their respective fields

Reflections on how the world has evolved—and, in some cases, remained stagnant—since the first edition's publication in 2001

A valuable resource for Black students and early-career professionals seeking proven strategies to navigate the unique challenges they will encounter, "Take a Lesson" is also an insightful guide for allies seeking to gain a deeper understanding of a critical and timely set of experiences.

While these stories specifically focus on Black success, their universal themes of ambition, perseverance, and the value of resilience transcend race and have the power to inform, inspire, and reaffirm the pursuit of success in all walks of life, regardless of the circumstances or era.
