The Power of Mentorship

Leading and Coaching Diverse Talent.

How can organisations use mentorship to attract, develop and retain staff from underrepresented communities? The book draws on research from the Aleto Foundation and case studies from inclusion specialists across the USA, Europe and South Africa.

It also covers reverse mentorship, where the mentor is the one who learns, and what has to be in place for a programme to increase retention rather than simply run.

Paperback, £19.99. ISBN 9781529248647. Published by Bristol University Press, April 2027.
