One Minute Mentoring : How to Find and Work with a Mentor--And Why You'll Benefit from Being One

The One Minute franchise endures. For those familiar with Blanchard and his fable-ish manner of teaching, whether from One Minute Manager (1980) or Raving Fans (1993), he's picked a hot topic: mentoring. Along with colleague Diaz-Ortiz, he presents hero Josh Hartfield, a millennial worker in search of a fulfilling career. The tale relates a mutually beneficial mentorship, of course with the six well-explained steps of mission, engagement, network, trust, opportunity, and review and renewal (look closely, those letters spell mentor). After every few pages, a pause is inserted, with questions and comments to make sure messages have been understood. A good clarification appears at the end, when the authors define the differences between mentoring and coaching.--Jacobs, Barbara Copyright 2017 Booklist

Library Journal Review
One Minute Mentoring : How to Find and Work with a Mentor--And Why You'll Benefit from Being One
Library Journal

This work by business consultant Blanchard and former Twitter executive Diaz-Ortiz follows the same brief chapter/personal story line style of Blanchard and Spencer Johnson's The New One Minute Manager. All of the chapters are fewer than ten pages. Each concludes with a "One Minute Insights" section that presents practical and actionable steps one can take from the principles touched on in the chapter. The first-person POV makes the content personal and offers a sense of the emotions and thoughts that go into the mentoring process. Each vignette gives a glimpse into the details of how the mentor/mentee relationship could potentially develop. One downside is that the narrative ramps up and then presents just one avenue for how a mentoring scenario might play out. VERDICT A quick read that covers the relevant issues in a manner that anyone with a short amount of time can easily grasp. While mainly presented from a business perspective and for that audience, any individual or library may acquire this book as the most basic introduction to the topic of mentorship.-Mark Hanson, Maranatha Baptist Univ.
