| Summary |
The New CEOs looks at the women and people of color leading Fortune 500 companies, exploring the factors that have helped them achieve success and their impact on the business world and society more broadly. As recently as fifteen years ago, there had only been three women CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, and no African Americans. By now, there have been over 70 women, African American, Latino, and Asian CEOs of Fortune 500 companies--some well-known, like Carly Fiorina of Hewlett Packard, and some less-known. Richard L. Zweigenhaft and G. William Domhoff look at these "new CEOs" closely. Weavin. |
