Keith is a 2009 NAACP Image Award Outstanding Literary Work Nominee. His book titled "Good Is Not Enough" is a practical, no-nonsense guide to help minorities of all backgrounds better understand what is required to move beyond the level of middle management to senior level positions within corporate America. Wyche, states "Today, like never before, it is essential for minorities in business to understand the rules of engagement if they expect to survive in the race called Corporate America. All too often, careers of young, minority executives are left wrecked at the middle management level, as they fail to properly navigate the roads of right-sizing, mergers, acquisitions and other potholes of corporate life."
However, as the title of the book suggests, to rise above the ranks of middle management and into the boardroom, "Good is Not Enough". By sharing secrets of today's minority senior executives, this book will serve as a tool to help prepare the next generation of minority leadership ascend to even greater heights and accomplishments Please join us on August 7th at the NBMBAATC Scholarship Dinner to hear words of wisdom from Keith Wyche!
