Primarily for managers, NOT for independent mentors
The title of this book is technically correct, but unfortunately a bit misleading. I bought this book in search of guidelines and tips for mentoring a person I am not directly connected to. As it turns out, however, this is a book about applying mentoring and coaching techniques as a managerial skill, i.e. towards your own staff, quite a different scope from what I was in need of.Not being what I needed I have not studied the book in detail. It does, however, appear to deliver what it wants to, i.e. basic, sound and pretty well described advice on how to manage staff in a "modern" way to achieve sustainable performance. Being a "for dummies" book it may be a bit tedious at times, but it should be OK as a primer and basic reference.

For larger or corporate businesses
Very targeted towards mentors in large businesses and I wanted a book to give ideas on being a small business mentor. I should have looked more carefully.Didn't finish it.

it's a great "go to" book
Although I've not finished reading it yet...it's a great "go to" book! I've recently changed role and am now training to be a coach/mentor...this easy to read book is great for tips on what makes a good coach!!!!

Found it very basic but understand it may be pitching ...
Found it very basic but understand it may be pitching at people with zero experience. Plus it does string it out and go way over the top with the explantations. The readers may be rookie coaches but not 4 years olds!

interesting read
recently did a coachiing award and used this along with other books. This is good for someone who wants basic common sense approach. as a manager made me think ofhow i and other managers can come across to staff ! only negative is paper quality on book flimsy - could easy tear,
