A Seat at the C-Suite Table addresses an important issue in American culture—what it’s like for African Americans who work in leadership positions as executives. Author Chuck Wallington wrote the book because he wanted to understand why there aren’t many African American men working as chief executive officers, chief operating officers, and other C-suite positions.
He also wanted African Americans who work in C-suites to share their advice with others. Wallington’s method was to interview successful African American men using a series of identical questions. The interviews were anonymous.
The book’s contents include the identification of the problem that Wallington wanted to explore, the experiences of those interviewed, the consequences to corporations, and a summary where the author gives us the results of his research. The author concludes with his personal reflections on what he discovered. There is also an extensive list of references.
