Autor Michael G. Zey
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 dec 2020
In this study based upon interviews with over 150 executives in Fortune 500 companies and smaller firms, Zey provides a major exploration of the sociological dynamics of the mentoring relationship, locating benefits of this phenomenon in career growth, job satisfaction, and social mobility. Zey offers a framework for the understanding of corporate culture; an approach that raises The Mentor Connection far beyond the usual self-help literature found in this field.
