I read this in a need of developing mentoring program.
The need surfaced as we group of friends are contemplating on the mentoring program for first year MBA students. MBA Students -who struggled to get established in the HR domain.
Hilarie Owen - who runs a non profit leadership institute in UK has penned down the book. And her objective mentioned in concluding chapter - This is a practical guide. Truly it is written from the same perspective.
Book outlines what is required to set-up a mentoring program. She also touched on small and medium entrepreneurs, as well as leadership development. And often debated topic of diversity is also touched upon.
One suggestion that repeatedly surfaced in the book is about crystal level clarity about the purpose or objective of program. Thus one need to be clear why one is setting up a mentoring program. . This sorts out many things right from what kind of mentee shall be focused, who shall be mentor and what shall be measured.
Book gives details about assessing readiness of mentee, mentor, and kind of precautions those are required for successful program. One striking feature is "reflection" on "wisdom" and its use in the picking up the mentors.
Though the book is useful. More references from research literature on factors affecting mentor-mentee relationships, or effectiveness of the relationship would have been helpful. Also if various forms, checklists and tracking tools should be included. That will improve the usefulness of the book. Currently it has one learning style inventory in the appendix, that is all.
Overall book is a nice start for anyone, who wish to set-up a mentoring program!
