| Popis: | Mentoring plays a key role in whether a professional reaches the highest echelons of corporate rank and authority. Studies indicate that the most profitable companies today have the highest representation of women on their senior management teams. A review of the literature reveals that the transfer of corporate values, authority, and power is accomplished through mentoring and that few black women are offered opportunities to be mentored. Race continues to wield a profound influence on interpersonal relations and opportunities available in the workplace. Mental health executives, organizational psychologists, and policymakers have opportunities to play new roles, to ease and shape a transition in corporate consciousness to achieve greater parity for all women, particularly women of color. |
