The Handbook on Leading Up: 17 Keys to Establishing the Credibility to Influence Your Boss.
This is the book for every professional who has ever felt stuck, unseen, or undervalued. It provides a universal framework for building credibility and influence with any boss, in any industry, at any level. It is the accessible entry point that makes the ENRICH-specific strategies in Volumes 1 and 2 even more powerful.
If you have ever wondered why your hard work is not translating into recognition, advancement, or respect, this book gives you the strategic framework to change that.
The ENRICH Outsider's Career Manual: 17 Keys for Navigating Predominantly White Institutions.
Volume 1 takes the universal principles from "How Do I Get My Boss To...?" and adds the critical layer that mainstream leadership books miss: what happens when your Ethnicity, Nationality, Race, Identity, Culture, or Heritage places you outside the dominant group.
The advanced playbook. Volume 2 covers the strategic keys for organizational mastery, peer dynamics, lateral aggression, and building the career you deserve on your own terms.
Featuring Black, Latinx, Asian-American, Indigenous, LGBTQ+, first-generation, and disabled professionals across industries.
Research citations exclusively from Claude Steele, Kimberly Crenshaw, Derald Wing Sue, Patricia Hill Collins, and other ENRICH Outsider experts.
Strategies tailored for healthcare, academia, finance, tech, government, and nonprofit -- because every environment has different unwritten rules.
Because sometimes the right strategic move is to leave. Frameworks for knowing when to stay and when to go, on your terms.
Peer sabotage, competitive colleagues, and the unique dynamics of being targeted by people at your own level -- covered throughout both volumes.
Every chapter includes implementation frameworks you can start using immediately. These are not abstract concepts -- they are actionable strategies.
These books speak directly to the professionals who have been overlooked by traditional leadership content.
You exceed every metric, deliver every project, and still get passed over. You are tired of being told to "be patient" while watching less qualified colleagues advance.
You navigate between your authentic self and your "work self" daily. The exhaustion of performing an identity that is not fully yours is wearing you down.
You are the only person who looks like you in the room. The weight of representation, the isolation, and the constant vigilance take a toll no one else sees.
You know the game is rigged, and you want to learn how to play it strategically without losing yourself in the process.
You have been managing bias, microaggressions, and double standards for years. You need frameworks, not platitudes.
You have decided that leaving is the strategy. You want to leave on your terms, with your reputation intact and your next move already in motion.
Upcoming titles will cover Emotional Intelligence, Diversity & Inclusion, and Communication -- each with both a universal-audience book and an ENRICH Outsider expanded version. Subscribe to The Outsider's Toolkit to be first to know.
