As a direct beneficiary of the positive impacts of mentoring, Adrienne M. Somerville knows what professionals are looking for in a Mentor and how Mentors can deliver. Most professionals understand the value of finding a Mentor but are held back from getting started. Why? Selecting a Mentor and forming a successful mentoring relationship requires honesty, effort, and self-reflection. The literary arena is full of books addressing professional topics. Many of these publications treat the subject in such depth, they inadvertently eliminate intended audiences with the sheer volume of their texts. Ms. Adrienne Somerville upended this trend by authoring " Mastering Mentoring To Your Vantage Point" the authoritative 'grab and go' for professionals desiring a thorough, straight-forward coverage of professional mentoring. It's intended to be kept in a briefcase or purse for readers to delve into a chapter or two while commuting, traveling, or taking lunch breaks. This book delivers practical guidance and solutions to the questions: "What should I look for in a Mentor?" "What does a Mentor expect from me? What can I realistically expect from them?" "What happens in the mentoring sessions?" "When do you 'outgrow' mentors?" Participative by design, this book progressively builds from the general to the individual by delivering the basics of professional mentoring: its history, definition, and the common forms of mentoring found in today's business arena. "Mastering Mentoring To Your Vantage Point" is for the professional searching for the real-world process of identifying, requesting, meeting, and growing with a mentor.

Mentorship is a catalyst capable of unleashing one's potential for discovery, curiosity, and participation in STEMM and subsequently improving the training environment in which that STEMM potential is fostered. Mentoring relationships provide developmental spaces in which students' STEMM skills are honed and pathways into STEMM fields can be discovered. Because mentorship can be so influential in shaping the future STEMM workforce, its occurrence should not be left to chance or idiosyncratic implementation. There is a gap between what we know about effective mentoring and how it is practiced in higher education. The Science of Effective Mentorship in STEMM studies mentoring programs and practices at the undergraduate and graduate levels. It explores the importance of mentorship, the science of mentoring relationships, mentorship of underrepresented students in STEMM, mentorship structures and behaviors, and institutional cultures that support mentorship. This report and its complementary interactive guide present insights on effective programs and practices that can be adopted and adapted by institutions, departments, and individual faculty members.

The Managerial Moment of Truth explains a powerful new concept that can dramatically improve performance and increase productivity, at no cost, in virtually any company or organization. Developed by organizational consultant and bestselling author Robert Fritz and proven in practice by coauthor Bruce Bodaken, the chairman, president, and CEO of Blue Shield of California, the book provides a dynamic technique to help people face up to reality and confront the truth in order to correct mistakes, learn from past performance, and adjust processes to build a more successful organization. Given human nature, most managers, when faced with the harsh facts of substandard performance, tend to soften the truth with their direct reports, so as not to offend or upset them. They tend to avoid mentioning mistakes, missed dates, an incomplete project, unacceptable quality of work, and the like. Then, if the problem becomes egregious, the manager may suddenly overreact with a contentious confrontation that results in little long-term behavior change. Or else the manager will try to work around the substandard performance, shifting the workload to top performers on the team rather than addressing reality directly with the person concerned. Bodaken and Fritz provide a step-by-step approach for continuous improvement, in which managers deal with performance issues early on, to help employees face the truth without being made to feel denigrated, inept, or incompetent -- which would only defeat the desired goal of improvement. Moreover, this approach also greatly enhances the manager's own career success. When managers understand and use this practice, they can produce more top performers and add from 25 to 40 percent more actual capacity to their organization. At Blue Shield of California, for example, more than one thousand managers have been trained in this approach, with impressive, measurable results, helping the company become one of the fastest-growing health care plans in the state. Other companies, all at the top of their industries, are now using MMOT with great success. As widely acclaimed author Peter Senge notes in his foreword, "This is not a book with just a bunch of 'good ideas.' It is a call to a simple but transformative practice, vital to building an organization truly worthy of people's highest achievement."
