Scott Jeffrey Miller hosts the FranklinCovey-sponsored "On Leadership," the world's largest weekly leadership podcast, and most recently published his 6th book, The Ultimate Guide to Great Mentorship.
In his book, Miller outlines his plan of thirteen roles mentors play. He emphasizes the importance of understanding these roles for mentors and acknowledges that some roles may seem similar, with nuanced differences. The author encourages readers to view the book as a roadmap for the various roles they may encounter while mentoring.
Key points for the audience to consider include:
- The book is written primarily for mentors, offering insights into the mentoring process rather than keeping secrets from mentees.
- The thirteen roles are not necessarily present in every mentoring relationship, happening at different times and sequences.
- The book structure includes chapters for reading and absorbing information, as well as captures for reflection and note-taking.
- Miller uses metaphors extensively, and readers are encouraged to find value in them or disregard them based on personal preference.
- Some roles may seem similar, but the author advises readers to focus on the overall awareness of when to adopt specific roles rather than getting bogged down in differences.
- The author provides additional tools and resources on greatmentorship.com to enhance the mentoring experience.
- The webinar will explore these key points and delve into the specific roles outlined in the book, providing practical tips and insights for effective mentoring.
