New mentoring strategies for new business environments
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Ellen Ensher is Associate Professor at the College of Management at Loyola Marymount, and Susan Murphy Associate Professor at Claremont McKenna College: each has written and consulted both together and independently and here produces a powerful collaboration on mentoring and its lasting benefits to both mentor and prot?g?. Mentoring has a powerful influence on successful people: that's been proven; but traditional models of mentoring haven't kept up with business programs that have different emphasis today than in past. POWER MENTORING covers these changes in approach and offer new strategies for locating and creating 'power mentoring' relationships. Interviews with 50 top leaders and their proteges in technology, politics and media reinforce these concepts and approaches.

Power Mentoring is a powerful reminder that even in one of the most individualistic societies on earth, most successful people do not succeed alone. Power Mentoring skillfully combines the latest research on mentoring with fascinating interviews of real American success stories. Interesting and well written, this book is a must for business students or anyone wanting to know one of the best kept secrets to success.
Best mentoring book you could find!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
We all know how important and valuable a mentor can be, but most of us do not know how to find a good one, and how to make the most of the relationship if we do. "Power Mentoring" taught me so much on the topic, and transformed mentoring from being a nice idea, into something concrete that I too could benefit from. I loved the book, and would recommend it to anyone interested in bettering themselves and their situations.

Loved this book

I found the authors' blend of stories, research and theory to be very helpful. Made me think about what I could do to be a better mentor to others, as well as actively choosing & working with mentors more effectively myself. Contrary to the popular conceptions about mentoring, it really dramatizes the importance of taking responsibility for yourself as a mentee, not expecting the mentor to find or "take care" of you but rather doing what you can to make the relationship valuable, and enjoyable, to both of you. Anyone who reads this should take away great information that will help make them much more successful on both sides of the mentoring fence.
