Mentoring 101

Great John Maxwell book. If you like his other ones you’ll love this one. Whether you have people to mentor or not this is a great read.

This is an easy read with practice advice, highly recommend for those wanting to mentor and develop strong leaders on your team.

This is not really a book as I expected it to be. Unlike other Maxwell books which tend to be lengthy and full of content, this one has a little over 100 pages, and the physical size is about 4" x 6". The topic is great, and the information is sound. I would have preferred a book with more content though.

Ask the best leaders in any organization how they learned to be successful and you often hear the same answer: They had a good mentor. International leadership expert John Maxwell gives the bottom line on mentoring in one short, easy-to-read volume. In Mentoring 101, he gives the steps needed to effectively reproduce your success in someone else. He explains how to choose the right person to mentor, how to create the right environment for leaders to thrive and grow, and how to get started. What if you spent your entire life achieving but never shared your wisdom with anyone else? Don’t let your success end with you. As a mentor, you can create a legacy that will last long after you are done reading. Mentoring 101 is a very short and practical read authored by a well-known expert on leadership. The book is suitable for anyone in a supervisory position and guides the reader with a top down approach to the often misunderstood mentoring process. The reader will discover some great tips for encouraging others to be successful. You will find a lot of great, practical advice as you glide throughout its enjoyable pages.

Great product great value - no brainer ! buy it !

Had I written this book, I don't know that I would have called it "mentoring 101". Perhaps instead, I would have called it "being a relational boss" or "bringing the best out of people at work". Most of the book is focused on the type of mentoring that is focused on results from the perspective of the average American company life (either for profit or non-profit, as Maxwell provides examples of both). While I may have renamed the book, that doesn't mean that it's bad. Maxwell brings out the basics of human interaction and goal achievement. He debunks several myths about management that we seem to inherently believe despite evidence to the contrary (i.e. "what most people need is isolation and time to do what they do," opposed to the truth of "most people need community and accountability"). Maxwell also uses a wealth of interesting stories and illustrations - probably because his occupation outside of being an author is being a pastor. In my busy schedule it took me a couple of days to read this, so you could probably sit down and read the whole thing at once - and perhaps should do so every time that you hire someone or gain someone who you could be seen as a supervisor to. I'm someone who struggles with the basics of "being a boss" to people when they seem like they don't perform up to my standards. This book gave me some helpful insights as to how I can change in order to cut down the frustration in those relationships. Hope it does similar things for you.

Excellent read

This is a great book to read and easy to find the right people to share it with. Nothing beats learning about a topic you love or want to explore it more further. Overall, "Mentor 101" is a must-read for anyone interested in leadership, personal development, or fostering meaningful connections. It encourages readers to step up and be the kind of mentor that can make a lasting impact.

excellent book, helpful and direct- very useful to anyone interested in mentoring

Love this book. So much wisdom in a small package.

Very practical advice and insight that I’ve been able to actively apply through my mentorship program. Highly recommend that you read it.

Distilled wisdom. If you're a highlighter or underliner, most of this book will be noted. Very practical

The book doesn't bring any practical insight. Just an introduction to mentoring without any further application (how to conduct a mentoring session, what are the important questions to ask, what to do in session 1, 2, 3...). Doesn't worth the money spent.
