During the graduation party, Qing Huan had gotten drunk and had somehow managed to push down a man. Then, the god-like man looked at her coldly with a 100,000,000 yuan promissory note in his left hand and a small red book in his right hand, "Choose which one?" Qing Huan trembled in fear. "Choose ... The red book. " The man smiled in satisfaction. Three months ago, Qing Huan had married the man with the highest status and the most money in Luo City. Everyone was envious of her. Three months later, the man became a cripple. His envious gaze turned into pity. Qing Huan pursed her lips, smiling so much that her eyes curved into crescents. "They say that not only are you crippled, you're not even going to lift a single finger." A certain someone who was trying hard to do some rehabilitation work asked, "Do you want to try?"

The New CEOs looks at the women and people of color leading Fortune 500 companies, exploring the factors that have helped them achieve success and their impact on the business world and society more broadly. As recently as fifteen years ago, there had only been three women CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, and no African Americans. By now there have been more than 100 women, African American, Latino, and Asian-American CEOs of Fortune 500 companies. Richard L. Zweigenhaft and G. William Domhoff look at these “new CEOs” closely. Weaving compelling interview excerpts with new research, the book traces how these new CEOs came to power, questions whether they differ from white male Fortune 500 CEOs in meaningful ways, asks whether the companies that hired them differ from other companies, and discusses what we can learn about power in America from the emergence of these new CEOs. As Americans continue to debate corporate compensation, glass ceilings, and colorblind relationships, The New CEOs shares information critical to understanding our current situation and looks toward the future in our increasingly globalized world. The paperback edition of The New CEOs features a new Introduction and an updated comprehensive list of new CEOs to date.
