The bestselling co-author of the legendary The One Minute Manager® and a former Twitter executive join forces to create the ultimate guide to creating powerful mentoring relationships.

The past decade has seen the dramatic rise of a word now well known in corporate hallways: mentoring. But a new awareness about mentoring hasn’t necessarily meant an increased understanding of how to implement the practice.

While most people agree that having a mentor is a good thing, they don’t know how to find one or use one. And despite widespread approval for the idea of being a mentor, most people don’t think they have the time or skills to do so.

Positive mentoring relationships can change the way we lead and help us succeed. In One Minute Mentoring, legendary management guru Ken Blanchard and Claire Diaz-Ortiz, a former Twitter executive and early employee, combine their knowledge to provide a systematic approach to intergenerational mentoring, giving readers great insight into the power and influence of mentoring and encouraging them to pursue their own mentoring relationships.

Using his classic parable format, Blanchard explains why developing effective communication and relationships across generations can be a tremendous opportunity for companies and individuals alike. One Minute Mentoring is the go-to source for learning why mentoring is the secret ingredient to professional and personal success.

Ken Blanchard, Ph.D., is the Chief Spiritual Officer of the Ken Blanchard Companies, and a highly sought-after author, speaker, and business consultant. His perennial international bestsellers include The One Minute Manager, Raving Fans, Gung Ho!, and Whale Done!. He lives in California.

One of the first employees of Twitter, Claire Diaz-Ortiz is an author, speaker, and businesswoman. She lives in Argentina.

The One Minute Manager has sold more than 13 million copies across formats, and 20 of Ken Blanchard’s other titles have netted six figure sales or better.

With many Baby Boomers still in the workforce, and a huge influx of young people just entering it (the most common ages of new hires in America right now are 24 and 25), mentoring across age boundaries is a hot topic across professions.

The Blanchard Companies remain at the forefront of management training and consulting, and are an enormous asset in promoting Ken’s books.

Claire Diaz-Ortiz is a rising business star. One of the earliest employees of Twitter, she was named one of the 100 Most Creative People in Business by Fast Company. She has more than 300,000 followers on Twitter, and her business blog boasts more than 100,000 monthly readers.
