Synopsis

As organizational structures change so individual development methods must adapt to suit new business cultures. Julie Hay s book Transformational Mentoring introduces a totally new approach to an important way of developing employees.

It recognises that traditional mentoring techniques are no longer valid as hierarchically structured companies are being replaced with flatter, leaner ones. We need a much more flexible alternative where peers, unrelated work colleagues or even independent business people can create alliances to enhance personal development.

In today s business world, where there is much more career mobility, flexible employment options and a need to escape gender and cultural stereotyping, transformational mentoring is a practical step forward.

For human resource professionals, trainers and senior executives, Transformational Mentoring will help rid you of the restrictions of old fashioned, ineffective methods and set your business and its employees on the way to a successful learning experience.

This book will give you clear guidelines for introducing what Julie Hay calls developmental alliances. Her approach offers a corporate level perspective as well as the detail you will need for successful implementation.

Content includes:

• trends - from an organizational and an individual perspective;
• how is a developmental alliance different to traditional mentoring;
• the benefits, drawbacks and stages of transformational mentoring;
• choosing mentors; understanding mentees;
• initiating a corporate approach;
• plus an innovative way of linking mentoring to the shadow side of organizations.

Julie Hay has over 35 years experience as employee, manager, shop steward, trainer and consultant. She has travelled widely lecturing and training and has written numerous books and articles on people skills including:
