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

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.

Review

“Presents practical and actionable steps. ... The first-person POV makes the content personal and offers a sense of the emotions and thoughts that go into the mentoring process.” — Library Journal

From the Back Cover

From the bestselling co-author of the legendary The One Minute Manager®, and a former Twitter executive, comes the ultimate guide to creating powerful mentoring relationships

Working within a mentoring relationship is a powerful way to grow in your career. Whether you’re learning from a seasoned pro or passing along your wisdom, mentoring offers a host of benefits—from increased knowledge and skills to elevated energy and deep satisfaction.

But how do mentoring relationships begin, develop, and thrive? And what are the guidelines for keeping a mentoring relationship on track? The answers can be found in this engaging business parable.

Josh Hartfield, twenty-seven, has been in the same sales job for five years. He’s burned out, his career has stalled, and he isn’t even sure he wants to work in sales anymore.

A chance encounter leads Josh to Diane Bertman, a high-performing sales executive about to turn sixty.Stretched too thin by a relentless schedule, she’s beginning to wonder if she should retire.

From their first meeting, Josh and Diane know they each have much to learn from one another. As their relationship develops, they discover the power of mentorship: Josh as he transitions to a new career path, and Diane as she reignites her passion for meaningful work.

One Minute Mentoring provides practical tools for developing successful mentoring relationships. One Minute Insights at the end of each chapter and the MENTOR Model at the end of the book guide readers step-by-step to create lasting, beneficial mentorships.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Claire Díaz-Ortiz is a venture capital investor & bestselling author who was an early employee at Twitter. Wired magazine called her "The Woman Who Got the Pope on Twitter" and Claire was once named one of the 100 Most Creative People in Business by Fast Company.

Claire is the author of 9 books translated into 12 languages, including One Minute Mentoring (with her mentor, legendary management guru Ken Blanchard), Social Media Success for Every Brand, and Twitter for Good. She is on the 2023 Thinkers 50 Radar List of emerging management thinkers.

In Claire’s work, she has been called everything from “The Woman Who Got the Pope on Twitter”(Wired) & “Twitter’s Pontiff Recruitment Chief” (The Washington Post) to a “Force for Good” (Forbes) & one of the “Ten Most Generous in Social Media” (Fast Company). In a quote not soon to be forgotten (LOL), TechCrunch recently called Claire "a globe-trotting, multi-hyphenate polymath." Claire was one of the first users of Twitter in Kenya (a claim verified by no one), and is also known for the dubious honor of being the first person to live-tweet her own child’s birth, which was admittedly a bad idea.

Claire holds an MBA from Oxford University, where she was a Skoll Foundation Scholar for Social Entrepreneurship, and has a BA in History and an MA in Anthropology from Stanford University. She was the co-founder of Hope Runs, a non-profit organization operating in Kenya from 2006 to 2019.

She regularly appears in print and TV media like CNN, BBC, Bloomberg, Time, Newsweek, The New York Times, Good Morning America, The Today Show, The Washington Post, TechCrunch, Fortune, Forbes, Wired, etc. To be clear, whenever she goes on TV to talk about Elon it is usually a bad idea.

Claire lives with her family of small children in Argentina, where things could be more streamlined.

I found this simple book engaging and instructive. I love it that the authors said that many memorable words of wisdom were shared in a moment's time and it made all the difference - so very true! I've mentored for years and written some on the topic but I gleaned some practical tips for all kinds of mentoring relationships. It demystifies the topic which is good since everyone needs to be a mentor and have a mentor for personal and professional growth. I liked what they said about creating a mission from the outset - super practical and helpful!
