Dans Starting Strong, les experts en mentorat Lois J. Zachary et Lory A. Fischler tissent un conte convaincant qui illustre les concepts, met en évidence la dynamique et décrit les problèmes impliqués dans les relations de mentorat. Les auteurs utilisent la forme d'une fable pour raconter l'histoire d'une relation de mentorat naissante remplie de possibilités, de problèmes et de triomphes. L'histoire de Cynthia, une professionnelle chevronnée, et de son nouveau mentoré Rafa, donne vie à la richesse de suggestions de mentorat et de bonnes pratiques de Zachary et Fischler et chaque épisode de la fable est accompagné de questions de réflexion, d'apprentissages clés et de stratégies que les lecteurs peuvent appliquer à leurs propres relations de mentorat. Les auteurs incluent un manuel de conversation qui guide les mentors et les mentorés à travers six conversations essentielles qui les aideront à établir un lien de mentorat solide et à le faire avancer.

Alors que les organisations font face à la transition des baby-boomers qui partent et des milléniaux arrivés, Starting Strong offre un guide pratique et lisible pour créer des relations de mentorat efficaces qui assureront le succès de cette transition. Le livre :

• Couvre les éléments clés d'une relation de mentorat réussie, y compris le renforcement de la confiance, l'établissement d'une zone de confort (et ensuite avoir le courage de la quitter), la tenue de réunions productives, la gestion de la dynamique du pouvoir, la définition d'objectifs et le maintien de l'élan
• Montre comment éviter les pièges courants et surmonter les obstacles du mentorat
• S'applique à tout environnement organisationnel ou institutionnel

Starting Strong est plus qu'une histoire engageante de mentorat, c'est une ressource vitale pour comprendre comment mettre en œuvre et maintenir une relation de mentorat significative.
