The bestselling co-author of the legendary The One Minute Manager(R) and a former Twitter executive join forces to create the ultimate guide to creating powerful mentoring relationships

While most people agree that having a mentor is a good thing, they don't know how to find one or use one for their own career development. And despite widespread approval for the idea of being a mentor, most people don't think they have the time or skills to do so.

Positive mentoring relationships can change the way we lead and help us succeed. In One Minute Mentoring, legendary management guru Ken Blanchard and Claire Diaz-Ortiz, a former Twitter executive and early employee, combine their knowledge to provide a systematic approach to leadership development through intergenerational mentoring, giving readers great insight into the power and influence of mentoring and encouraging them to pursue their own mentoring relationships.

Using his classic business parable format, Blanchard explains why developing effective communication and relationships across generations can be a tremendous opportunity for companies and individuals alike. One Minute Mentoring is the go-to source for learning why mentoring is the secret ingredient to professional and personal success.
