We are pleased to announce our Executive Mentoring resource manual! Executive Mentoring 101 is now available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble as an ebook.
Executive Mentoring 101 is focused on the unique aspects involved when CEO’s and VP’s mentor in a formal program. It also involves understanding the difference between mentoring and other types of developmental relationships (i.e. coaching, etc.).
This workbook serves as a go-to resource for executive mentors. Within its pages, you’ll find insights into executive mentoring core competencies and relationship competencies, details about the executive mentor’s role, and common challenges facing executive mentors (and how to overcome them). In addition, this workbook also provides plenty of resources, including access to helpful downloadable documents on the Management Mentors website.
Based on my deep expertise in the mentoring field along with twenty-plus years “in the trenches” of designing and implementing business mentoring programs, Executive Mentoring 101 will be the perfect companion for any executive mentor who is about to embark on a mentoring journey.
Below is the Table of Contents that outlines the topics discussed along with valuable resources in the Appendix section. Please feel free to contact us if you have any additional questions about Executive Mentoring.
