Summer is my favorite time of year to read. For three months—between Memorial Day and Labor Day—the pace of life slows down, and I have a chance to dust off a few books that have been begging to be read. Of course, I also find a few new titles to add to my summer reading list, which seems to grow by the day. So, with August upon us, there’s no better time to cross some of those professional development must-reads off your list!

Modern Mentoring offers a blueprint for mentoring success—with a model that benefits more than the select few and steers clear of forcing connections between people. Emelo demonstrates that a culture in which people choose what they want to learn and whom they learn from, while increasing overall organizational intelligence, is completely within reach.
