Description

Mentorship is as old as human behavior and one of our most powerful methods of learning. So why aren't more working adults using this process to advance their careers? Mentorship is the process of learning through an extended dialgoue between an experienced person with a rich fund of knowledge and expertise and one who has less knowledge and experience in a particular field or profession. The threat to mentorship in the workplace may come in the form of "Baby Boomer" retirements - radically shrinking the pool of experienced professionals who make up the mentor population. The time is now to start the transfer of your organization's knowledge legacy so that succeeding generations can grow and develop. The goal of this book is to provide information that will motivate more working adults to become involved in mentorship and see this process as essential for achieving career success. Readers will learn that there are people with information in every workplace who can provide the means to be more successful. With the insights provided here, you will become more observant and opportunistic and take advantage of the sea of knowledge that surrounds you. Contrary to popular belief, growth through mentorship is not an accident and does take effort. Mentoring partners must learn to produce positive results for themselves; whether they are in an organization with a mentoring program or an entrepreneur plying their trade alone. Numerous examples drawn from real-life mentoring partners will give the reader a flavor for the benefits that can be derived from mentorship. Material in the book is drawn primarily from the feedback of hundreds of mentor/mentee pairs in formal programs and interviews with informal mentoring partners representing a wide range of job categories and employees at many levels in a variety of industries, businesses and public service agencies.
