As an executive coach cutting edge research on even better advancing leadership fascinates me. Based on research and hundreds of interviews, this book is a treasure chest, packed with best practices and candid revelations of the dark side of mentoring as well.
The most striking revelations included:
- Employees who actively engaged in mentoring are 5 times more likely to a pay raise and retention rates are nearly 50% higher.
- Based on the research of the authors, "we do not recommend looking to your immediate line manager as a mentor."
- The person receiving mentoring should capture their key learning points and commitments as bullet points and share with their mentor by 48 hours after their conversation
- Six different kinds of mentoring, including traditional-hierarchial to team to reverse mentoring. How to choose what is best for you.
- Measuring mentoring results...before and after
- When to STOP a mentoring relationship
- Ten asynchornous ways to make mentoring communication more fluid and accelerate progress
- The three most frequent traps which hinder mentoring success and how to avoid them
- MY FAVORITE A comprehensive, single page guide to plan your best mentoring ever....includes before, during and after insights and tips

9 个月Hi Bill, on the point of who to ask to be your mentor, I do agree with your statement. My best mentor was 20 years ago: the VP EMEA at #Kraton. He was not my line manager
