Mentor′s Guide

The Mentor's Guide: Facilitating Effective Learning Relationships is a practical handbook on mentoring in professional and educational settings. This Third Edition is revised and written by Lois J. Zachary and Lisa Z. Fain, both experienced specialists in the field. It treats mentoring as a process that can be guided and gives readers concrete tools for steering a mentoring relationship from its start to its finish. The book is organized around four phases of a mentoring relationship: preparing, negotiating, enabling growth, and coming to closure. It is written for leaders, managers and educators, and its approach applies in any career or professional context. Readers can use it to shape their own learning and mentoring journey.
