Transformational Mentoring: Creating Developmental Alliances for Changing Organizational Cultures

by Julie Hay

As organisational structures change so individual development methods must adapt to suit new business cultures. 'Transformational Mentoring' introduces a totally new approach to an important way of developing employees. It recognises that traditional mentoring techniques are no longer valid as hierarchically structured companies are being replaced with flatter, leaner ones. We need a much more flexible alternative where peers, unrelated work colleagues or even external business people can create alliances to enhance personal development. In today's business world where there is much more career mobility, flexible employment options and a need to escape gender and cultural stereotyping, transformational mentoring is a practical step forward. This book will give you clear guidlines for introducing what Julie Hay calls 'developmental alliances'. Her approach offers a corporate level perspective as well as the detail you will need for successful implementation.
