Make Mentoring Work

Many leaders in business, education, politics and sport have relied on a mentor. Many have now become mentors themselves. Make Mentoring Work (2nd Edition) is an invaluable handbook for anybody considering – or already in – a mentoring relationship, whether mentor or mentee. The book sets out what mentoring is, the do’s and don’ts for mentors and mentees, and how to get the most out of a mentoring relationship. Peter also shares his own fascinating mentoring experiences.
