About the Book:
Written by Deborah Heiser, an applied developmental psychologist with more than twenty years of experience as a researcher and
coach, The Mentorship Edge: Creating Maximum Impact through Lateral and Hierarchical Mentoring explores how we connect to others, feel valued, get pleasure from life, and believe our lives have meaning through forming mentor relationships with others. This book covers both personal and professional mentorship in various fields, including business, research, entrepreneurship, and even art.
The traditional hierarchical mentorship we’re all familiar with is simple and often very effective. But there is also lateral mentoring, where you connect with a friend or colleague―someone you can be vulnerable with―whether they work in your department, another department, or outside of your organization entirely. Lateral mentoring solves many common problems with mentorship, like feeling intimidated by those above us at work, while still providing all of the key benefits that mentorship has been proven to give.
The goal of this book is to inspire individuals to engage in mentoring naturally, whether hierarchically or laterally, in work settings and in their home life. Heiser shares the insights gained from in-depth research and her extensive experience running The Mentor Project, a mentoring organization with more than 100 mentors at the absolute top of their fields.
Whether you have an emotional desire to give back to others to solidify your legacy and ensure that all the boxes you’ve checked over the previous decades mattered, or you’re seeking to connect with more successful individuals as a mentee, The Mentorship Edge is an essential guide to understanding the value of different types of mentorship and taking the first steps towards using this special type of relationship to create a better life for yourself.
