A Pocket Guide to Mentoring Higher Education Faculty

The best mentors are the people who have broad and deep experience in the complex challenges of academic leadership. The problem is that those same people often have the least amount of time to get up to speed on the best practices used by effective mentors. A Pocket Guide to Mentoring Higher Education Faculty eliminates that problem by providing concise, practical, and immediately useful advice on how to succeed as a mentor and build an effective mentoring program. With this book at your fingertips, you’ll have everything you need to succeed in mentoring others while still having the time to do it. -- Jeffrey L. Buller Ph.D, director, leadership and professional development, Florida Atlantic University
