Mentors are over-utilized, under-trained and, as studies show,
under-deliver. From an employer's perspective, assigning a mentor
is often a band-aid to a larger problem. From an employee's
perspective, a lack of formal mentorship is seen as a serious,
career-inhibiting problem, the equivalent of sailing a boat without
a rudder. In The Mentor Myth, Debby Carreau represents this
dichotomy, explaining that while a mentor's counsel can be
invaluable, it is not the silver bullet human resources
professionals often purport it to be. The opinions of a mentor are
one data point, one piece in the much more complex game of
navigating a career. In fact, the increasing overreliance on
mentorship can actually be a hindrance to a successful career.
Instead of continually looking outward for career guidance,
aspiring professionals must realize that they possess all the tools
necessary to take control of their own careers by using their own
strengths, capabilities, and visions of success. Through her years
of experience consulting, speaking, and writing about career
development, Debby has created a comprehensive, easy-to-implement
guide for taking ownership of your professional success. Debby
begins by helping the reader create a professional roadmap,
including how to build a personal brand, project the right amount
of confidence, and manage time. She addresses mentors in the
context of networks and sponsors, advising the reader how to
incorporate outward influences rather than be defined by them.
