The State of Diversity
The first section of Mastering the Game presents the research and statistics that prove what you may already feel intuitively - that there is a serious lack of diversity in leadership positions. Diverse professionals also face many challenges when competing for roles in organizations created and dominated by white men. In this section, "The Playing Field," Jones gives an overview of the state of diversity within businesses, nonprofits, and government agencies.
The 10 Rules
The second section of the book introduces 10 rules that form the foundations of career success. For each rule, there are numerous operational strategies that readers can follow to play the game more effectively in accordance with that rule. In total, the book contains more than 100 strategies to help readers succeed in any sector. Although the substantive work may vary from position to position, the underlying rules are the same. After laying out the 10 rules, the end of the book summarizes operational strategies for ease of reference.
