Are you looking to up your mentorship game? In this thoughtful text, leadership coach Scott Miller draws on his expansive experience and insights to lay down a comprehensive pathway to becoming a mentor who truly supports growth. He guides you through 13 diverse “roles” you can embody to support a mentee’s journey while enhancing your own understanding and empathy. Whether you are a seasoned mentor or just stepping into the position, this guide’s invaluable advice can help you avoid common pitfalls and foster deep, rewarding mentoring relationships.

Summary
