Synopsis

The updated third edition of “the essential handbook for all those who are trusted advisors to aspiring leaders” (Jim Kouzes, coauthor of The Leadership Challenge).

This latest edition of the classic Managers as Mentors is a rapid-fire read that guides leaders in helping associates grow in today’s tumultuous organizations. Thoroughly revised throughout with twelve new chapters, this edition places increased emphasis on the mentor acting as a learning catalyst with the protégé rather than simply handing down knowledge.

As with previous editions, a fictional case study of a mentor-protégé relationship runs through the book. But now this is augmented with interviews with six top US CEOs. New chapters cover topics such as the role of mentoring in spurring innovation and mentoring a diverse and dispersed workforce accustomed to interacting digitally. Also new to this edition is the Mentor’s Toolkit, six resources to help in developing the mentor-protégé relationship. This hands-on guide teaches leaders to be the kind of confident coaches integral to learning organizations.

“Tightly written . . . helpful techniques.” —Scientific American

“This book will help you become the mentor you always wanted and honor the terrific ones you had.” —Mark Goulston, bestselling author of Just Listen
