A collection of thoughts about mentoring in the workplace. Mostly common sense, a few "a ha" moments. All in all I wish they backed up the information with more factual data about WHY. They start the book describing how they will distill all of the existing studies and work into this book. While they might have done this they did not get into the WHY or stats as to why this is the right way.An OK skim from the library...not a purchase.
