Great for education, short on systems perspective
The author, Kathy Lacey, is an educator and does an excellent job of defining the mentoring roles, process, and necessary training. Lacey is clear how important it is that organizational members are interested in mentoring and have the skills to build supportive relationships. What is missing is the systemic organizational perspective. I recommend that this book be used as a supplement to Kathy Kram's book, Mentoring at Work, because Kram very skillfully argues that even a perfect mentoring program will flounder unless the organization's reward system, culture, and norms value and encourage relationship-building activities; and opportunities exist for frequent and open interation between managers at different career stages and hierarchical levels. To be successful, mentoring must be viewed as a valued expectation instead of a distraction from task-related activities, and the norms must support conversations about employees' jobs and personal dilemmas instead of only focusing on the bottom line.

As an author on mentoring
Kathy Lacey's book is a practical guide that should be read by any organization considering a mentoring initiative. I highly recommend it to any organization considering a mentoring initiative. The orientation program she presents is user-friendly and right on the mark. There are no vague concepts in this book. Lacey provides practical checklists and worksheets that can be adopted with few changes. From one author to another--bravo! Similar Products
