Title: Too academically preppy for me...
Review: This book may prove valuable if the reader has little or no background with self development and leadership as it relays a lot of truths from those areas with respect to mentoring.However, this book is just not my style. I prefer down to earth, straightforward advice without excess words. My style may not be yours...if you find the following three sentences valuable this book may be for you.1. "Reinforce creativity while tempering over-expansiveness with reality and pragmatics."2. "Allow the protege to serve as your emissary at times--shielded by your reflective power and functioning on your behalf."3. "Understand that your affirmative narration will be quite meaningful to your protege and that it will strengthen the mentorship bond."I read this book front to back and there is a significant amount of repetition. This book is best suited as a reference...if you have an issue or an interest use the index to just read about that particular topic.
