Beyond the Myths and Magic of Mentoring: How to Facilitate an Effective Mentoring Programme by Margo Murray
This book shows how to develop and retain talented employees though the effective use of facilitated mentoring programmes. Margo Murray provides step-by-step guidelines for putting together a cost-effective programme that fosters employee learning and growth, is personally rewarding for mentors, and contributes measurably to organizational performance. Using seven case studies of thriving and highly-valued mentoring programmes, she shows the diverse forms mentoring programmes can take. Murray also reveals what successful programmes have in common - explicit strategies for matching proteges with compatible mentors and judicious use of evaluation to make course corrections in the programme - and offers advice on how to avoid common pitfalls.
