Learning from Other Women: How to Benefit from the Knowledge, Wisdom, and Experience of Female Mentors - Tapa dura

Based on interview with 200 career women at all levels in a variety of organizations (including NYNEX, Kodak, J.P. Morgan, and Corning), this work seeks to show women how they can successfully initiate and maintain mentoring relationships with more senior women. Topics covered include how to prepare to be someone's protege, how to identify the right mentor, getting beyond the fears and stereotypes that keep women apart, how to anticipate and avoid challenges to the mentoring relationship, and more. The book offers concrete strategies, rather than just theory, for developing a powerful woman-to-woman learning connection.
