The best mentors are the people who have broad and deep experience in the complex challenges of academic leadership. The problem is that those same people often have the least amount of time to get up to speed on the best practices used by effective mentors. A Pocket Guide to Mentoring Higher Education Faculty eliminates that problem by providing concise, practical, and immediately useful advice on how to succeed as a mentor and build an effective mentoring program. With this book at your fingertips, you’ll have everything you need to succeed in mentoring others while still having the time to do it.

In A Pocket Guide to Mentoring Higher Education Faculty: Making the Time, Finding the Resources, Tammy Stone offers a powerhouse of resources to help you navigate the good, the bad and the unexpected moments of faculty mentoring, especially when resources are limited. Easy to read and implement, she offers serious tools for the reality of your institution and your faculty. It’s my new go-to partner in meeting mentoring challenges across the academic lifespan.

New department chairs will find this book especially helpful as they begin to lead their academic colleagues. Associate deans,deans, and those who aspire to these roles, as well as the position of department chair or program director, could also benefit from the suggestions, questions, and initiatives discussed by Stone. I recommend it for these audiences as well as for anyone interested in the more general issues inherent in higher education leadership.
