Power Mentoring
Many of the world's most notable people, including Bill Gates and Bill Clinton, have credited mentoring as a major factor in their success. Despite the obvious benefits of mentoring, the traditional models have failed to keep up with trends in today's business world. Mentoring programs based on career longevity with one organization no longer reflect what's really happening.
Written to reflect the realities of today's business environment, Power Mentoring is a nuts-and-bolts guide for anyone who wants to create a connection with a protégé or mentor, or to improve a current mentoring relationship. Filled with illustrative examples and candid insights from fifty of America's most successful mentors and protégés, Power Mentoring unlocks the secrets of great mentoring relationships and shows how anyone (including those who are well established in their careers, or those who are just starting out) can become a successful mentor or protégé. Based on compelling interviews from Ellen Ensher and Susan Murphy's own research, this important resource explains what it takes to develop a "power mentoring" network consisting of a variety of mentors across a range of organizations and industries. The authors provide strategies for establishing such power mentoring relationships, outline the best practices, and offer insights from mentors and protégés in a variety of fields, including technology, politics, and the media. Included is advice from notables such as
* Bob Wright, vice chairman and executive officer of General Electric and chairman and chief executive officer of NBC Universal
* General Lee Butler, former commander of U.S. nuclear forces
* Rosario Marin, 41st treasurer of the United States
* Leeza Gibbons, executive producer and Emmy Award-winning television personality
* Larry Carter, senior vice president, office of the president, and former chief financial officer, Cisco Systems, Inc.
Power Mentoring includes practical suggestions and advice for applying the lessons learned from successful mentoring relationships and shows how to create an individualized Relationship Development Plan.
