As the workforce becomes increasingly diverse, it is imperative that organizations learn to attract, engage, and retain employees and leverage their unique perspectives. But few leaders have fully developed the aptitudes required for mentoring, let alone the level of cultural competency needed to bridge differences. In Bridging Differences for Better Mentoring, leadership mentoring experts Lisa Fain and Lois Zachary present a framework for achieving cultural competence in mentor-mentee communication using accessible, understandable, and practical tools and strategies. The result is more agility, comfort, and capability in their readers to build meaningful mentoring relationships and communicate effectively across differences. These tools lead to better, more culturally sensitive leaders, a safer work environment, and a more inclusive workplace for all.

Praise for Bridging Differences for Better Mentoring

While our similarities give us comfort, it is our differences that give us growth. In many ways, embracing differences is the very essence of learning. Bridging Differences for Better Mentoring provides solid guidance through profound wisdom, practical tools, and case examples on how to leverage differences for rich, mutual growth. Mentors and mentees alike will find this book a potent and enjoyable gift.

Chip R. Bell, coauthor of Managers as Mentors

There are rare times when a book is written that expands your mind, opens your heart, and touches your soul. This is one of those books. Fain and Zachary, who have a deep knowledge and understanding of the context and processes of mentoring, confront us with our need to view the world and those within it with a broader focus on the breadth and beauty of varied perspectives, which in turn will bring richness to our own perceptions and abilities. If we are to mentor and be mentored in ways that can foster growth and understanding in all involved and in our world, we will take their knowledge and make it our own.
