Leading Up While Standing Out, Volume 2 (EPUB eBook, Second Edition)

Leading Up While Standing Out, Volume 2 continues the ENRICH Outsider's career manual with Keys 10 through 17: be prepared and organized, make your accomplishments known, seek honest feedback from your boss, be willing to do what is undesirable to everyone else, know when to speak up and when to stay silent, be proactive, prove that you are trustworthy, and get into your boss's inner circle.

Written for ENRICH Outsiders: professionals whose Ethnicity, Nationality, Race, Identity, Culture, or Heritage places them outside the norm of the room on at least one dimension the workplace has not built capacity to support. ENRICH was created by Duane K. Andrews and Sherry M. Jerimie. Every case names the dimension and the facet in play. Volume 2 assumes the foundation in Volume 1 and includes an orientation for readers who begin here.

Advanced strategies and mastery for people who already lead themselves well and still need a map for the rooms above them. The conclusion, The Door You Leave Open, closes the two-volume set.

This Second Edition is the updated 2026 text.
