Today, even more British and European companies believe in mentoring, and their experiences clearly reveal its potential as a rapid and cost-effective method of management development. David Clutterbuck examines the benefits of mentoring for both individuals and the company, and shows how it can play a crucial role in fostering talent at work. The third edition of this book is fully revised and updated to include: up-to-date conceptual models of mentoring in the context of other forms of one-to-one development; approaches to managing the balance of formality and informality; expanded discussion of mentoring applications - for executives, for diversity purposes, for disadvantaged young people; and new insights into the behaviours of effective mentors and mentees.
