Mentoring in Action: A Guide to Success

Mentoring in Action: A Guide to Success shares insights into the contemporary practice in mentoring programme design, implementation and evaluation. Through clear and useful lessons from managers from leading organisations globally, it provides an invaluable roadmap to setting up and running successful mentorship programmes.

Mentoring programmes within organisations have blossomed in the past decade from a few thousand to many tens of thousands globally. The variety of programme purposes and applications has expanded equally rapidly. Written by leading practitioners in the field and presented as part of the EMCC series, this book provides much-needed guidance for practitioners and organisations seeking to create sustainable and impactful mentoring interventions in all contexts. Each chapter is based on a specific setting of mentorship practice to enable easy understanding and application across multiple sectors.

This book is aimed at mentoring programme managers, HR professionals, mentoring practitioners and students of mentoring, and presents good practice to guide the mentoring journey for all practitioners responsible for the mentoring programmes within their organisations.
