Description
Mentoring a greenhorn in any profession can be challenging, delicate, and enormously rewarding—as well as vital to the health of your workplace. The Adaptive Mentorship (AM) model is an effective approach, and this book explores how it can improve mentorship results. Thirty-five authors discuss mentorship in general, and focus on the key aspects and strengths of the AM model. Whether you’re a student, an educator, or a professional already working in your field, you will find helpful tips for professional development.
