The Elements of Mentoring

I've read roughtly 20 books on mentoring over the past six months in the course of building a mentor training program for a major corporation. This one, along with Larry Daloz's book (for very different reasons) is best for my purposes, because of its excellent use of good references, clear organization and explanations, and choice of topics. Very much like the Strunk and White book it's patterned after. Thanks!

If you are looking for a comprehensive and well-structured guide to mentoring - this is perfect choice. Presented concepts are intuitive and have practical application. What is also important, the book is fun to read. I recommend it both to new adepts of mentoring as well to those more experienced.

i skimmed through this book and was very impressed. it pointed out to me how i should mentor as well as pointing out how i should be mentored. i learned what has been missing in the mentoring that i receive. i am hoping that it will help me ask for the type of mentoring that i want and need.

This is a valuable book. These authors have managed to distill a very broad topic into easily applied principles. As both a mentor and protege I am grateful for this book. I am now ordering this book as a gift for all my favorite mentors in my Harvard post-doctoral program. I recommend you do the same for those menotors in your life.
