Full Description
With a foreword by Connie Chung and praise from Forbes, Library Journal, and Booklist, Speak Up by Linda S. Mason provides an inspiring story and a formula for success for readers looking to break ground in their own careers.
Follow one of the first women network news producers as she climbs the career ladder right through the headlines of American history and inspires us all to speak up for ourselves and fight for our own success.
From Cuba to Vietnam and to Tiananmen Square, Linda S. Mason stood side-by-side with CBS news anchors Walter Cronkite, Charles Kuralt, and Dan Rather to bring the world stories of history-in-the-making.

In Speak Up, Mason reflects on her career and the leadership lessons she learned along the way. The formula she shares with all young professionals is simple, but the lessons are timeless: work hard, don't complain, ask questions, and when the time is right, speak upabout what is next. Mason followed this formula to great success and looks forward to following the groundbreaking careers of today's professionals throughout media, politics, and in all leadership roles.
