Mentoring Executives and Directors

Mentoring Executives and Directors was the first book to examine the growth in mentoring at senior levels, and it remains the landmark text in the area. This new edition addresses the developments in the executive mentoring landscape, including the move to professionalization; but also revisits key issues such as the benefits of executive mentoring, how to choose a mentor, and tools and techniques for effective mentoring. On top of this, the authors have carefully selected and analysed an entirely new set of case studies to give readers an insight into mentoring programmes and relationships internationally and across sectors, from a mix of large and small businesses. This authoritative guide to executive mentoring is essential reading for executive mentors and mentees, HR professionals and students of mentoring.
