The bestselling co-author of the legendary The One Minute Manager® and a former Twitter executive join forces to create the ultimate guide to creating powerful mentoring relationships

While most people agree that having a mentor is a good thing, they don't know how to find one or use one. And despite widespread approval for the idea of being a mentor, most people don't think they have the time or skills to do so.

Positive mentoring relationships can change the way we lead and help us succeed. In One Minute Mentoring, legendary management guru Ken Blanchard and Claire Diaz-Ortiz, a former Twitter executive and early employee, combine their knowledge to provide a systematic approach to intergenerational mentoring, giving readers great insight into the power and influence of mentoring and encouraging them to pursue their own mentoring relationships.

Using his classic parable format, Blanchard explains why developing effective communication and relationships across generations can be a tremendous opportunity for companies and individuals alike. One Minute Mentoring is the go-to source for learning why mentoring is the secret ingredient to professional and personal success.

      This work by business consultant Blanchard and former Twitter executive Diaz-Ortiz follows the same brief chapter/personal story line style of Blanchard and Spencer Johnson's The New One Minute Manager. All of the chapters are fewer than ten pages. Each concludes with a "One Minute Insights" section that presents practical and actionable steps one can take from the principles touched on in the chapter. The first-person POV makes the content personal and offers a sense of the emotions and thoughts that go into the mentoring process. Each vignette gives a glimpse into the details of how the mentor/mentee relationship could potentially develop. One downside is that the narrative ramps up and then presents just one avenue for how a mentoring scenario might play out. VERDICT A quick read that covers the relevant issues in a manner that anyone with a short amount of time can easily grasp. While mainly presented from a business perspective and for that audience, any individual or library may acquire this book as the most basic introduction to the topic of mentorship.--Mark Hanson, Maranatha Baptist Univ.
