The Empress
by Joyce M. Roché, Alexander Kopelman
Category: Business & Economics

"Joyce Roché rose from humble circumstances to earn an Ivy League MBA and eventually become the first African-American vice president of Avon. She was later president of a leading hair care company and CEO of the nationally prominent nonprofit Girls Inc. But she never felt she deserved her success. In fact, the phrase “the empress has no clothes” kept running through her head. She was nothing like the emperor in the Hans Christian Andersen story -- she was certainly not a fraud. And yet that’s how she’d always felt. Roché discovered there was a name for this: the impostor syndrome. In this deeply personal memoir she shares her lifelong struggle with the imposter syndrome and offers advice and coping strategies based on her own experiences and those of other high-achieving leaders who have suffered from it."--Publisher website.
