Overview
A hand rises tentatively from the middle of the audience.
“Yes? In the blue?”
“Thank you for taking my question.”
The voice quavers, hesitating. “I . . . Over the years, I've read
these books, I've been to workshops like this. I've followed the advice.
It has helped--but not enough. I'm still not where I want to be.”
The voice gains strength.
“The one rule I have never been able to follow is the commandment:
Find a Mentor. How? Who?
I think the math is all wrong,” the woman says, appealing to those around her. “There are dozens of
us trying to find a mentor in my organization alone and only a few at the
top who are in any position to help.”
The voice becomes a cry. “Where do I find my mentor?”
The question hangs in the air.
Nodding faces turn from the questioner to the front of the room. Where do I find a mentor?
Here.
The WomentorSM Guide: Leadership for the New Millennium
is devoted to helping women become their own mentors, track their own paths to success, discover
the shortcuts, and blaze trails--on their own.
This book argues that women
can discover the “womentor” within and mentor themselves in two key ways
that will help them become successful leaders in their organizations.
One, by learning to recognize and understand different organizational
cultures. And, two, by learning which attributes of leadership are
valued in each culture.
The strategies outlined in
the book are applicable for a woman at any level who seeks leadership
either in an organization or in starting her own business. Through
the book's worksheets, questionnaires, checklists and personal stories,
the reader is guided in the process of “womentoring.”
