Description

Increasingly, new employees and junior members of any profession are encouraged-on occasion stridently-to “find a mentor!” Four decades of research reveals that the effects of mentorship can be profound and enduring; strong mentoring relationships have the capacity to turn out to be individuals and entire organizations. Organizations that retain and promote top talent-both female and male-are more likely to thrive.  But the mentoring landscape is unequal. Evidence consistently shows that women face more barriers in securing mentorships than men, and when they do find a mentor, they may reap a narrower range of both career and psychological benefits. Athena Rising is a book for men about how to mentor women deliberately and effectively. This can be a straightforward, no-nonsense manual for helping men of all institutions, organizations, and businesses to transform excellent mentors to women.  Co-authors W. Brad Johnson, PhD and David Smith, PhD draw from extensive research and years of experience as experts in mentoring relationships and gender workplace issues. When a man mentors a woman, they provide an explanation for, the relationship is continuously complicated by conventional gender roles and at times hostile external perceptions. Traditional notions of mentoring are continuously modeled on male-to-male relationships-the sort that begin on the golf course, involve a nearly exclusive focus on career achievement, and include quite a lot of slaps on the back over drinks after work. But women continuously report a desire for mentoring that integrates career and interpersonal needs. Women want a mentor who not only “gets” this, but really honors it.  Men want to fully appreciate just how crucial their improve of promising junior women can be in helping them to persist, promote, and thrive in their vocations and organizations. As women succeed, lean in, and assume leading roles in any organization or work context, that culture will transform more egalitarian, effective, and prone to retaining top talent.
