The Mentorship Edge: Creating Maximum Impact Through Lateral and Hierarchical Mentoring

The Mentorship Edge: Unlocking Potential, Nurturing Growth, and Creating Explosive Impact explores how we connect to others, feel valued, get pleasure from life, and believe our lives have meaning through forming mentor relationships with others. This book covers traditional hierarchical mentorship we're all familiar with, along with lateral mentoring, where you connect with a friend or colleague—someone you can be vulnerable with—whether they work in your department, another department, or outside of your organization entirely.
Insight in this book is drawn from Deborah Heiser's experience running The Mentor Project, a nonprofit mentoring organization with more than 100 mentors at the absolute top of their fields. In this book, listeners will learn about the proven benefits of mentorship in both work and home life; mentorship in various fields, including business, research, entrepreneurship, and art; and classic examples of the power of mentorship, like when Steve Jobs asked Steve Wozniak for engineering help when he was at Atari.
The Mentorship Edge is an essential guide to demystify the special concept of mentoring and inspire individuals to engage in mentoring naturally, whether hierarchically or laterally, based on their goals and passions.
