The Art of Mentoring: Lead, Follow and Get Out of the Way
Editorial Reviews
Booklist, February 15, 1999
"Peddy uses storytelling as a tool to illuminate the key elements of a mentoring culture and to examine how mentoring works in practical situations. Peddy's frame story is the temporary assignment of her narrator, Rachel Hanson, a corporate training specialist for Perry Winkle Enterprises, to supervise the Houston marketing office of a recently acquired subsidiary, To Your Health, a health food producer and distributor. To complicate Rachel's situation (appropriately) her own rather disaffected college-dropout son needs mentoring, too, during the months she spends in Houston-but can she (via long distance) or his father (face-to-face) provide the advice and support he requires? This frame makes Peddy's key points accessible and entertaining, and she addresses thoughtfully the wide range of issues mentors face over the "life" of a mentoring relationship."

"This book is about more than mentoring. It covers contentious and prevalent issues of the workplace: learning the unspoken rules, improving interpersonal skills, dealing with job dissatisfaction, workaholism or lack of motivation-and anyone looking for advice or looking to advise another will find this book an indispensable reference."
