Description: This book explores key elements of understanding mentoring and the impact it can have, as well as important considerations for designing and implementing effective mentoring programs.
The purpose of this book is to give HR and mentoring programme managers an introduction to what, why and how of mentoring programmes – to understand the success criteria for great mentoring programmes and avoid the pitfalls.
For mentors (and mentees) in particular, the book offers a fresh perspective on the mentor's role—or more accurately, the many roles a mentor can take on. It introduces two fundamental roles – facilitator and role model – along with ten situational roles, offering mentors, mentees, and other stakeholders within the organisation valuable insights into the potential of meaningful mentoring conversations.
