  • Endnotes 

Most Mentors know very little about how to be an effective Mentor, which can be very frustrating for you as a Mentee. Mostmentoring books aim to educate you on the basics of how to start a mentoring relationship. However, very few deal with what to do when you find yourself in the middle of a mentoring relationship, and are uncertain as to whether you are getting the best value from that relationship. Mentors who plan to mentor more than one person over a sustained length of time should still have training. Until they do, this book will help you with advice, tips, and a whole lot more so you can get better value from your Mentor and help them, in turn, become better Mentors.
