​Creating Developmental Alliances for Changing Organisational Cultures

As organizational structures change so individual development methods must adapt to suit new business cultures. Julie Hay’s book Transformational Mentoring introduces a totally new approach to an important way of developing employees.

It recognises that traditional mentoring techniques are no longer valid as hierarchically structured companies are being replaced with flatter, leaner ones. We need a much more flexible alternative where peers, unrelated work colleagues or even external business people can create alliances to enhance personal development.

​In today’s business world where there is much more career mobility, flexible employment options and a need to escape gender and cultural stereotyping, transformational mentoring is a practical step forward.

​For human resource professionals, trainers and senior executives, Transformational Mentoring will help rid you of the restrictions of old fashioned, ineffective methods and set your business and its employees on the way to a successful learning experience.

​This book will give you clear guidelines for introducing what Julie Hay calls developmental alliances. Her approach offers a corporate level perspective as well as the detail you will need for successful implementation.

Content includes:
​
  • trends - from an organizational and an individual perspective;
  • how is a developmental alliance different to traditional mentoring;
  • the benefits, drawbacks and stages of transformational mentoring;
  • choosing mentors; understanding mentees;
  • initiating a corporate approach;
  • plus an innovative way of linking mentoring to the shadow side of organizations.

Julie Hay has over 35 years experience as employee, manager, shop steward, trainer and consultant. She has travelled widely lecturing and training and has written numerous books and articles on people skills including:

Creating your own developmental alliance

This package includes all you need to set up your personal mentoring scheme - copies of all 15 issues plus the right to make a photocopy for your mentor.
​
  • are you keen to take responsibility for your own development?
  • do you recognise the benefits of having a ‘mentor’ who will support and challenge you?
  • are you ready to take the initiative in implementing your own development plan?

Here is a way you can have your own, personal, mentoring scheme - even if you work independently or within an organisation that has no mentoring arrangements (or has a scheme that you can’t join). The package even includes a helpline - simply email us with your queries.

Action Mentoring is our name for a new approach to mentoring. We believe that traditional mentoring, where a senior manager sponsors a young high-flying protégé, is out-dated and divisive. We see no reason why everyone should not be seen as capable and worthy of development. We have therefore created an innovative new approach so that everyone can have a mentor.

We have developed this in conjunction with several organisations and are now able to offer it more widely. It is a serialised mentoring pack, containing 15 issues that guide you through the stages of mentoring. You can make a photocopy of each issue and pass it on to your mentor. You then use them together as the basis for each mentoring session.

Issues contain all you need to know to establish and maintain a successful mentoring relationship over a period of about 12 months (or longer if you meet less often). They include guidance on the stages of mentoring, practical explanations of various theoretical models and frameworks and how to apply them, plus a range of questionnaires and other activities that will ensure you get the most out of the mentoring process.
