Zusammenfassung:"In Soaring, Lee Rhyant explores the struggles of his circumstances which he eventually overcame, climbing to the top of the corporate ladder at Lockheed Martin and Rolls Royce Aerospace, and offers the lessons he took away from his experiences in leadership and business. Born to a family of African American sharecroppers in post-war Georgia, Rhyant's story begins in the Jim Crow South. Forced to work at an early age, Rhyant eventually graduated from Bethune-Cookman University and Indiana University and climbed to a series of "first" executive positions at some of the nation's most respected companies. This book is more than Rhyant's struggles and successes. It is a story that begins and ends in Georgia.

It is a story that offers pragmatic guidance to students and entrepreneurs of color on their own professional paths"--
