Recommendation

Typically, the mentoring process is a two-way dialogue that takes place over lunch, in the gym or on the phone. But author Julie Morgenstern changes the traditional mentoring model. Speaking out from the printed page, she mentors by remote. Morgenstern offers useful career guidance and concise tips, organized as concrete "Grab and Go Strategies." Her colorful examples, logical chapter summaries and chatty case histories make her book outstanding. Occasionally, her advice is repetitive, but overall it’s hard to find fault, because she is so clearly smart, thoughtful and on your side. getAbstract recommends this mentor’s manual to every professional, including the overworked, self-employed and underemployed.

Take-Aways

  • Create a cone of electronic silence to start your day. Don’t touch your e-mail for the first 60 minutes you are at work.
  • Avoid seductive time busters: Internet surfing, voice mail and pointless meetings.
  • Stop multi-tasking. This deceptive practice silently steals the quality and the quantity of your waking hours.
