The must-have guide to mentoring

For managers. For entry level. For executives. For entrepreneurs. For everyone.

With job mobility increasing, globalization expanding, and technology advancing, you need more than a steady job and a solid network to keep your career on track. You need mentors - to learn and to grow - whether you're just starting out, are firmly established, or at the top of your profession. Everyone has something to learn, and everyone has something to teach.

Introducing Strategic Relationships at Work: the first comprehensive mentoring guide written specifically for 21st-century career building, this entrepreneurial approach to work relationships addresses the key issues of our time:

Using simple tools and proven strategies, this essential guide shows you how to leverage the relationships you already have to map out a new developmental network that grows with your career. You'll learn the secrets of companies with excellent developmental cultures, including IBM, Procter & Gamble, Sodexo, and KPMG. You'll discover the most effective ways to develop new talent in your workplace through formal programs that leverage mentors, sponsors, coaches, reverse mentors, and mentoring circles.

The real story on developmental relationships and how to make them work for you

We live in a world of more frequent job search intervals, as well as information overload as the pace of change and global connectedness increase. This book provides all you need to help you develop an evolving set of relationships that can keep you afloat in this sea of change and guide you in achieving a truly fulfilling career.

I did some basic qualitative research on how relationships affect careers under Kathy Kram's guidance in the 1980's in B.U.'s MBA program. I was honored to review and comment on several draft chapters in exchange for a free copy. Certainly the field has come a long way since that time.

With over 30 years of research on their topic, experts Wendy Murphy and Kathy Kram share their wisdom that stands out in depth and range from other books on similar topics. In a warm conversational tone, they provide insight, as well as practical strategies. The early chapters offer guidance on self-assessment, and how to review your existing relationship map for gaps. They present practical tools to master advanced relational skills and to use them to cultivate various types of growth-enhancing relationships.
