Amazing Benefits, Unique Risks

A stellar mentor can change the trajectory of a career. And an enduring mentoring program can become an organization s most powerful talent development tool.

These programs applied a training methodology to a nontraining solution and were ineffective at best and poorly designed at worst.

Mentoring Programs That Work is framed around Labin's AXLES model the first framework devoted to the unique challenges of a sustained learning process. This step-by-step approach will help you navigate the early phases of mentoring program alignment all the way through program launch and measurement.

Whether your goal is to recruit and retain Millennials or deepen organizational commitment, it's time to embrace mentoring as one of the most powerful tools of talent development. Mentoring Programs That Work will help your organization succeed by building mentoring programs that connect people and inspire learning transfer.

This book is an outstanding resource for anyone who is interested in building a successful and sustainable mentoring program in their organization. It provides a thoughtfully constructed framework that was developed by the author through years of experience in the talent development space and accounts for many of the issues that are often overlooked or underestimated along the way.
