When it comes to mentoring, women face more barriers than men.
Here's how men can help change that. Increasingly, new employees
and junior members of any profession are encouraged--sometimes
stridently--to "find a mentor!" Four decades of research reveals
that the effects of mentorship can be profound and enduring; strong
mentoring relationships have the capacity to transform individuals
and entire organizations. But the mentoring landscape is unequal.
Evidence consistently shows that women face more barriers in
securing mentorships than men, and when they do find a mentor, they
may reap a narrow range of both professional and psychological
benefits. Athena Rising is a book for men about how to eliminate
this problem by mentoring women deliberately and effectively.
Traditional notions of mentoring are modeled on male-to-male
relationships, yet women often report a desire for mentoring that
addresses their interpersonal needs. Women want mentors who not
only understand this, but truly honor it. Coauthors W. Brad Johnson
and David G. Smith present a straightforward, no-nonsense manual
for men working in all types of institutions, organizations, and
businesses to become excellent mentors to women, because as women
succeed, lean in, and assume leading roles in any organization or
work context, the culture will become more egalitarian, effective,
and prone to retaining top talent.
