"Fritts has captured the essence of the changes traditional managers must make to become true coaches and learning leaders. In The New Managerial Mentor she has produced a non-nonsense prescription based on the realities of organization life. It sets a pathway for managers to diagnose and evaluate their progress."--Philips H. Sargent, Vice President, The Dunlap Corporation

"The New Managerial Mentor provides an innovative, practical approach for hierarchical organizations to transition to learning organizations by developing managers who are active, performance-focused, results-driven leaders of change. Fritts offers practical strategies and useful tools for companies navigating today's ever-changing business environment."--Deborah Poore, Vice President of Human Resources and Administration, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Maine

"The New Managerial Mentor should be on the must-read list of every learning manager. Fritts has skillfully articulated an approach to help managers define their leadership role competencies and, through the use of practical tools, enhance their growth. This is a timely, insightful, well-researched book."--James D. Paisley, Ph.D., and Mark Leathers, principals, Leathers & Associates

"I really liked it! Fritts's description of the skill/mind-sets for learning leaders is especially relevant for today's health care environment. I especially liked the inventories and checklists useful for self-analysis and possible training. A good read that brings together much of the current thinking in this area."--Jonathan R. Sheff, MSW/MPH, President of Resource Management Consultants

"The managerial competencies set forth and the emphasis on co-learning throughout the organization are essential to a company's success over the next decade. The mentoring model not only highlights the changes required of managers; it provides a way for workers at all levels to get the right things done and achieve the personal satisfaction of helping to move the organization ahead."--Jo Ann Peeples, Manager, Labor Relations and Training, Saco Defense, Inc.
