DENVER, Colo., March 28, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Launched today, the second edition of The Power of Latino Leadership-Ahora!, by Dr. Juana Bordas, a pioneer and thought leader in the study of leadership, diversity, and organizational change, is the first book squarely focused on how Latinos lead. The book is now available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other leading retailers.
The U.S. is experiencing a vast generational shift. Baby Boomers are retiring at the rate of 10,000 per day. At the same time, the 2020 census noted that 51% of U.S. demographic growth in the last decade was due to Latinos. And because of youthful demographics where six out of 10 Latinos are millennials or younger, this growth will continue.
"In today's climate where the diversity and inclusion conversation has been front and center, this book brings forward the past and future contributions of the growing Latino population who will contribute 78% of the new entries into the workplace in the next 10 years," Dr. Bordas said. "The Power of Latino Leadership-Ahora! takes readers of all backgrounds to the very heart and soul of Latino leadership and culture."
Since its initial release, Dr. Bordas' groundbreaking book has made inroads into the emerging Latino book market and is an acclaimed addition to diversity and inclusion work. It won the International Latino Book Award for leadership and the Nautilus Award for best Indigenous books. It is considered seminal work in the field of leadership and diversity.
In The Power of Latino Leadership-Ahora!, Dr. Bordas offers 10 principles that richly illustrate the inclusive, people-centered, socially responsible, and life-affirming ways in which Latinos have led their community. This model is uniquely suited to mainstream leaders in this century's multicultural, global age.
The second edition includes new chapters that dive into the voices and visions of young Latinos, social action and leadership on issues that impact young Latinos, the genesis of Latino people as well as cultural values such as inclusiveness and diversity that anchor leadership and information on the multicultural Latino identity.
