Books on mentoring
- Starting Strong: A Mentoring Fable by Lois J. Zachary and Lory A. Fischler. Recommended by Ken Guenther. A fable outlining the first 90 days of a mentoring relationship between an energetic young man and a senior leader in the company. The mentee has big career ambitions but also struggles with his supervisor's leadership and has significant issues in relating to others. The book outlines the various conversations that are necessary in a mentoring relationship.
