Description: American corporate culture has a low tolerance for diversity which may create problems for gay males moving their way through corporate networks. The Gay Male's Odyssey in the Corporate World explores the workplace experiences of gay managers and executives, describing how they survived and thrived and how you can too. Author Gerald V. Miller examines the stages of personal transition from powerlessness to empowerment that gay males move through when confronted with the issue of being a gay manager or executive. He asserts that "playing it safe" is the most dangerous thing a gay manager or executive can do and provides a step-by-step action plan for being successful while maintaining your dignity and integrity. He also discusses six concrete developmental stages that gay men go through on their journey to empowerment and explores steps you can take to move toward more positive behavior patterns.
