Included are luminaries such as Seth Godin, Stephen M.R. Covey, Anne Chow, Stedman Graham, Liz Wiseman, Susan Cain, Trent Shelton, and General Stanley McChrystal, who challenge the reader\u2019s mindset and beliefs, restore focus, and validate the path towards greater empowerment.

Selecting only 30 \u2018Master Mentors\u2019 for the book was difficult, as there were so many profound, yet practical insights offered by all of our guests. These 30 Mentors changed my life, and they can change yours too, whether you\u2019re a CEO, team leader, manager or individual contributor. You\u2019re invited to read this book and apply one key insight per week at work or in your personal life. And when you learn a valuable insight from a Master Mentor, share it with someone else, both on National Mentoring Day, and throughout the year.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \nIn Master Mentors,<\/i> Miller captures the essence of his interviewees, what resonated most in each interview, and the best takeaway. The book features easily digestible, timely insights, along with thought-provoking questions at the back of every chapter for further self-reflection. Transformational wisdom from various Master Mentors include the following, to name a few:\n<\/p>\n Karen Dillon<\/a> \u2013 Deliberate vs. Emergent Strategies: <\/b>I learned that 93 percent of all organizations that achieve \u201cfinancial success\u201d do so with an emergent strategy, not the deliberate strategy that was originally implemented. The ability to pivot is vital to success. Dillon is the former editor of the Harvard Business Review<\/i> and a co-author of the seminal book, How Will You Measure Your Life. <\/i><\/p>\n Anne Chow<\/a> \u2013 What\u2019s Your Motive:<\/b> Oftentimes what seems like innocuous questions about other people\u2019s heritage, nationality, race, religion, ethnicity and education serve as inhibitors rather than accelerators in interpersonal trust. Understanding your own motive is vital to building trust with others. Chow is the CEO of AT&T Business, has been named by Fortune <\/i>as one of the most powerful women in business, and is the co-author of the bestselling book, A Leader\u2019s Guide to Unconscious Bias.<\/i><\/p>\n Kim Scott<\/a> \u2013 Radical Candor: <\/b>The most impactful gift any leader can offer members of their team is having high courage conversations about a person\u2019s blind spots that balance both courage with consideration. This requires many of us to move outside of our natural comfort zone and often practice \u201cstraight talk\u201d and discuss the undiscussables. Scott is a former Silicon Valley executive and the author of the bestselling books Radical Candor<\/i> and Just Work<\/i>.\n<\/p>\n Liz Wiseman<\/a> \u2013 Be a Multiplier and Not a Diminisher: <\/b>When a leader employs the effective mindset that their job is to achieve results with and through other people, they come to realize that instead of being the genius in the room, their key contribution is to be the genius maker of others. This is achieved by demonstrating an often-unnatural level of self-awareness to identify when you are accidentally diminishing others so that you can instead create more multiplying moments. Wiseman is a renowned keynote speaker and leadership expert and the author of the bestselling book, Multipliers<\/i> and a forthcoming book, Impact Players<\/i>.\n<\/p>\n Todd Davis<\/a> \u2013 The Power of Relationships: <\/b>Contrary to the oft repeated human resource adage that people are an organization\u2019s most valuable asset, it\u2019s actually not true. People aren\u2019t an organization\u2019s most valuable asset. Nor is their supply chain, brand, distributions, products, pricing, patents, trademarks, or other perceived assets. It\u2019s the relationships between the people that is every organization\u2019s ultimate competitive advantage. The relationships between the people, and their leaders, create your culture. And your culture cannot be replicated or stolen from you, unlike everything else. Davis is a multi-bestselling author and serves as FranklinCovey\u2019s Chief People Officer.\n<\/p>\n Whitney Johnson<\/a> \u2013 Disrupt Yourself: <\/b>Although horrifying and sobering, the adage, \u201cYou\u2019re never in the room when your career is decided for you,\u201d is absolutely accurate. The most enduring careers are those that are deliberately owned by individuals themselves, and they demonstrate a level of fearlessness and courage to self-disrupt proactively before they are inevitably disrupted by others. In short, \u201cact or be acted upon.\u201d Johnson has been named as one of the Top Global 100 Coaches and is the bestselling author of Build an A Team <\/i>and Disrupt Yourself.<\/i><\/p>\n Michele Jessica Fievre<\/a> \u2013 Balancing Efficiency with Effectiveness: <\/b>Although frequently used interchangeably, efficiency and effectiveness have vastly different impacts in every aspect of our lives. One is not better than the other. They simply need to be used in different settings. Highly effective people recognize when to be efficient (processes, social media, some meetings, email, washing the car, mowing the lawn, etc.) and when to be effective (in every situation that involves building trust with others or any high-stakes interpersonal situation) with colleagues, direct reports, family members, and friends. Fievre is a multi-bestselling author and a senior acquisitions editor for Mango Publishing, the nation\u2019s fastest-growing independent book publisher.\n<\/p>\n \n\u201cEach insight is worthy of deeper dive and further engagement with the Master Mentor behind it,\u201d said Miller. \u201cChoose one, work to incorporate it into your life and you\u2019ll find it\u2019ll yield demonstrably positive results. Which insight tugs at you as the potential solution to a stifling weakness, or which ignites your creativity and drives you to do something different? If adopted, could it elevate a dormant strength into a powerful force working on your behalf? Use this book to experience similarly profound insights that have had a powerful effect in my life. I may not have truly mastered any of them, but they rise as a North Star toward which I can diligently navigate. May these insights do the same for you and those you mentor.\u201d\n<\/p>\n About the Author<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Scott Jeffrey Miller<\/a> is currently FranklinCovey\u2019s senior advisor on thought leadership, leading the strategy, development, and publication of the firm\u2019s bestselling books on leadership.
