Mentoring 101
Review:
This is a short book written by John C. Maxwell . The book is about helping others. The best part of this book is that it is short, clear and to the point. You can read it in around two hours.

The author tries to make the point that training can help people and individuals. I think this part of the book from page 100 gives an example of that:

When it's bad for the individual and bad for the organization -- everyone loses.
When it's good for the individual but bad for the organization -- the organization loses.
When it's bad for the individual but good for the organization -- the individual loses.
When it's good for the individual and good for the organization -- everyone wins.

The author also goes into developing the right mindset to help others learn. From page 76:

B elieve in them
E ncourage them
S hare with them
T rust them

It's a short book and was pretty cheap. The format and size of the book makes it feel like a Little Golden Book for adults.

NOTES:

Let them fly with you for a while - When training someone bring them along to learn. (p16)
If you want good ideas, you need a lot of ideas (p38)
B elieve in them
E ncourage them
S hare with them
T rust them (p76)

U nconditional
S ensitivity

Marshall Foch quote "There are no hopeless situations there are only men who have grown hopeless about them(p86)
Value of Training (p90)
When it's bad for the individual and bad for the organization -- everyone loses.
When it's good for the individual but bad for the organization -- the organization loses.
When it's bad for the individual but good for the organization -- the individual loses.
When it's good for the individual and good for the organization -- everyone wins.(p100)
You may be able to impress people with your successes, but if you want to influence them, share your failures. (p111)
Celebration is how you defeat jealousy(p114)
