WOW! I really like this FIELD GUIDE, as army veteran/leader, Alan Landry, describes his book GROWING MENTOR INTELLIGENCE. There certainly can be the case of "natural born" leaders, and similarly, natural-born mentors, this is not the case for the majority of organizations. The important skill of mentorship can be taught, studied, developed, and optimized, and Colonel Landry has provided a wonderful how-to roadmap to successful mentoring. For me, it is amazing when I think back on the hundreds of various books I have read, to finally find the single, solitary treatise on Mentor Intelligence. This book will be useful to the lowest to the highest echelon leader, and from the smallest start-up to the largest multi-national corporation. Landry's clear 5-step mentoring process provides guidance for both mentors and mentees, reminding the reader that the successful relationship can be just as rewarding and character-developing for the mentor as it is for the junior mentee. This is a book that I am sure will be passionately shared by leaders after finding it. I have already purchased two additional copies - one to share with a former mentee who himself is advancing in his career and necessarily himself becoming a mentor, and the other with a medical professional colleague who is a mentor for many young pediatric subspecialty surgeons.
