The Elements of Mentoring by Charles R. Ridley (9781250181268)

Description - The Elements of Mentoring by Charles R. Ridley

Patterned after Strunk and White's classic The Elements of Style, this new edition concisely summarizes the substantial existing research on the art and science of mentoring. The Elements of Mentoring reduces this wealth of published material on the topic to the most important and pithy truths for supervisors in all fields. These explore what excellent mentors do, what makes an excellent mentor, how to set up a successful mentor-mentee relationship, how to work through problems that develop between mentor and mentee, what it means to mentor with integrity, and how to end the relationship when it has run its course.

In this edition, the authors will also show that The Elements of Mentoring is the first step toward becoming a Master Mentor, which are mentors who are serious about their craft and diligent about developing and then honing focused skills in both the career and psychosocial dimensions of mentoring. This edition will also include a brand new section about the value and importance of diversity in a mentor-mentee relationship.

Succinct and comprehensive, this is a must-have for any mentor or mentor-to-be.
