AN EXPLORATORY INQUIRY INTO LEADERSHIP STYLE EXPECTATIONS AND OUTCOMES OF BLACK AND WHITE MANAGERS

Abstract

One of the compelling current concerns being addressed by business firms in the United States is the attraction and assimilation of black candidates into employment by the firms and the subsequent progression of these candidates through the managerial ranks of the organisation. While most observers would agree that many black people have benefitted from the enactment and enforcement of national equal employment opportunity legislation, the question of the extent to which black business professionals have advanced to upper management positions continues to be subject to much public debate.
