Mentoring Pocketbook

"This book states on the cover that it is "a pocketful of proven tips, tools, and techniques for mentors and mentees to maximize the benefits of this powerful development process". Not only does it deliver its cover promise, but it does so in the most succinct fashion without missing any key details. This is an excellent book for experts or beginners as well as mentors and those seeking a mentor. Its formatting makes it easy and quick to read while at the same time providing readily useable ideas, activities, and concepts. The authors pay great attention to successful mentoring relationships, including the various roles, necessary qualities, and developmental stages, and they include an issues and questions section that covers not only concerns common to both mentors and partners, but also challenges faced by program coordinators. The authors place mentoring within the context of learning and show the reader how to use a simple process to make progress in any mentoring relationship. This book can be carried in a pocket and the authors have wisely included some blank pages for notes." -- Top Books in Mentoring, www.mentors.caAlred, Geof J. is the author of 'Mentoring Pocketbook' with ISBN 9781579220068 and ISBN 1579220061.
