This book is an excellent guide on the core foundation of being a great mentor and mentee. I appreciated the emphasis on having diverse mentor networks and avoiding mentorship malpractice.

4.0 out of 5 stars Concise overview of the theory of mentoring
Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2022

Mentoring relationships are point-blank critical to career development. They’re not just for the school setting but for anyone interested in a growing career. This book, written by three MDs in academic medicine, delineates the principles of mentoring based on research and experiences. It concisely teaches how to be both an effective mentor and an effective mentee (an under-appreciated virtue). Finally, it has a lengthy appendix (around 50 pages) that provides summaries of articles about mentoring, including many outside of academic medicine.

The authors break this subject into three sections: For mentors, for mentees, and for both. They don’t waste a lot of verbiage and instead dive head-first into the operative principles in these roles. They talk about how to pursue these relationships and even how to end unhelpful ones. Special discursions on gender and generational divides explore a couple topics in depth. Notably, race, which has re-arisen in the American consciousness since 2019, is not discussed in detail, only broadly. These authors possess a clear passion for mentoring, albeit in a time-crunched manner.

This book’s main shortcoming is that it lacks personal anecdotes, presumably with the intention of protecting private information. However, this glaring omission avoids an essential human component to the practice of mentoring. The authors seem more like medical scientists lecturing on theory than people engaging in the formation of individual persons. The authors readily acknowledge that mentoring is not a “one-size-fits-all” practice; it would have been nice to observe that principle in practice through their writing.

This book is ideal for those interested in a power-packed theory of mentoring with little time wasted on fluff. At around 130 pages, it’s incredibly short with a lot of “oomph.” It’s even shorter if the reader skips the 50-page appendix, though a lot of helpful material remains in that ancillary chapter. This work is housed within the framework of academic medicine and is most suited for medical/clinical audiences. About half of the cited research are from medical journals, but the other half are from the world of business. Although general principles can be extracted, medical training is clearly the venue for these three authors. (It would have been nice to branch out into another field or two of graduate training to provide some breadth and robustness to the theory.) Overall, this work provides a concise, power-packed overview of mentoring for mentors and mentees and can get relationships quickly moving in a positive direction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding book, full of great advice and practical suggestions, for both mentors and mentees
Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2019
As a university professor, I teach and mentor students. While I have invested a lot in learning about pedagogy and the art of teaching (see my earlier post "How can we become better teachers?"), I now realize that mentorship is something I have picked up by observation and experience. I have been lucky to have had good mentors in my life (see my TEDx talk on this), and I have tried to copy some of their best traits and practices. But, until now, I have never read a book on mentoring.
Reading "The Mentoring Guide" by Vineet Chopra (@vineet_chopra), Valerie Vaughn (@ValerieVaughnMD), and Sanjay Saint (@sanjaysaint), has been a real eye-opener. I had no idea that so much scholarly work has been done in the area of mentorship!

I wish I had read this book when I started my career as an Assistant Professor 12 years ago; it could have really helped me and my former trainees. But it is never too late to learn and I am looking forward to applying the key lessons of this book with my current and future mentees.

Chopra, Vaughn and Saint are physicians at the University of Michigan. They have published several papers on mentorship and this book is a compilation of their amazing resources on the topic. In fact, they have distilled years of experience and wisdom into a slim, highly readable book that can be read in half a day.

By reading this book, I learnt that a team of mentors can offer far more than one single mentor. I also learnt that mentors come in 4 phenotypes: the traditional mentor, the coach, the sponsor, and the connector. One can play one role for many mentees, or many roles for one mentee. If one is too busy to take on the traditional mentor role, one could still agree to be a coach, sponsor or a connector. I found this liberating, in many ways.
