| A volume in the series: Mentoring Perspectives (formaly listed as Perspectives in Mentoring)
Series Editor(s): Frances K. Kochan, Auburn University
This edited volume brings together conceptual and empirical work from various professional fields to
inform a perspective on mentoring that goes beyond what is needed for today and orients toward what is
needed for the future in order to promote healthy and productive organizations. This perspective is important
because the pace of change in organizations is rapid--and increasingly so. Under conditions of rapid
and ongoing change, employees, students, and colleagues all are learners; and the learning needs of these
adults demand meaningful and focused strategies for professional development. A major strategy with
demonstrated value for fostering learning among adults is mentoring, which contributes both relational
and structural support for such learning. This support helps organizations build communities of practice
in which colleagues alternate the role of mentor and mentee by sharing different types of expertise and different
perspectives on organizational challenges.
Chapters within the book focus on theoretical perspectives on mentoring, the connection between change and mentoring, the character of the leadership
that mentoring entails, the developmental processes that mentees experience, the transformation of the mentee as a result of mentoring, the value
of matching mentor and mentee styles, and the role of mentoring in organizational team building. Furthermore, some chapters explore the similarities
and differences in individual versus group mentoring. And some of the contributions elaborate linkages among mentoring concepts and those used in
related practices such as coaching and distributed leadership. |
