Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
The Art of the Business-mentor
Michael Donovan · 2018
60/100
👎 Skip It
Michael Donovan clearly knows the terrain — two decades mentoring over a thousand Australian executives is real experience, and the handbook format is practical and usable. With almost no outside reviews or verification beyond the author's own channels, though, I can't fully vouch for how well it actually delivers.
