A Roadmap for BIPOC Leaders

Available Feb 24th 2026

Description

Necessary tactics for BIPOC leaders to navigate from survive to thrive.

In these politically fraught times, organizations need strong leadership to help navigate uncertainty and complexity. A crucial yet overlookedgroup of leaders are also racial minorities, who often move into positions of influence with little support or acknowledgement. If you’re one of these leaders (or hope to be), this book is specifically for you. Fire and Silence offers a roadmap to leadership using compassion instead of trauma, authority without victimhood, and strength inclusive of vulnerability, in ways that are fair to all.

From the trenches of social activism to coaching boardroom executives, Annahid Dashtgard offers proven strategies and real-world stories alongside practical tips and tools to support growing numbers of BIPOC leaders achieve the impact and recognition they so richly deserve — without having to sacrifice who they are in the process.
