Not for Business Mentoring

As a professional coach,I found the book redundant and less applicable to business. The principles appear written towards life coaching and as a result may be an acceptable reference for those for mentoring teenagers and others having difficulty getting it together. For those considering mentoring in a business enviroment,there are much better books that deal with establishing a meaningful mentor/mentee relationship.

Disappointed

I was looking for a book to describe a structure, do's and don'ts, and general guidance for developing a business oriented mentoring relationship/program. I found the book lacked any specificity to the business world as opposed to general living. Worse, I found that by reading the first sentence of each paragraph, I got the idea, rather than spending time going into each repetitive example. On the chance I was too negative about the text, I loaned it to an associate who is heavily involved with mentoring and he also found the book to be redundant with rather obvious recommendations. Purchase another text if you are looking for a guide to mentoring in the business world.

Life changing principles that lead to a true legacy

This book really captures the essense of a successful mentoring relationship. Anyone who leads, coaches, manages or influences others should read this book - a few times. The principles have literally changed my life and have given me the understanding and confidence to now help others. After all, the legacy any of us can hope to leave can only be measured in the lives of other people.
