Abstract
By fundamentally integrating mentorships within an organizational context, minority frontline managers may perceive their work as a value to the organization and as a result, achieve heightened job performance directly influencing personal growth beyond their position. This qualitative case study will analyze ethnic, gender, and racial diversity in a corporation and the impact of mentoring minority frontline managers in a sales department within a consumer products corporation. The existing problem is that minority frontline minority managers are not advancing within the selected corporation and are met with historic socio-cultural and socio-economic patterns and corporate barriers that limit their cognitive growth. There is a history of ethnic, gender, and racial macro and microaggressions that continue exist due organizational design, control, and culture. Historical implications from the 2nd industrial revolution for this type of research and practice are discussed, and future research directions will be provided.
