Love the title selection of Black Roadblocks. The reader is not sure of the true meaning until delving into the chapter. I particularly like how Dr. Tara chose to focus on strategic ways to go around, eliminate or remove those roadblocks by addressing the issue in real time. Leaders like Dr. Tara build stronger workplace environments.
