Reciprocal mentoring represents an approach to mentoring in organisations that is both timely and of critical importance in the context of diversity, inclusion, equity, and the power shift in mentoring practice. This book provides insight into how reciprocal mentoring programmes can strengthen mutual learning and encourage true partnership between participants.

This approach to mentoring places participants on a level playing field; people with disparate expertise, backgrounds, and experience levels are placed in relationships in which they act as both mentor and mentee, generating a range of benefits for all involved. This book explores the design, development, and evaluation of reciprocal mentoring programmes in six different contexts: entrepreneurial, healthcare sector, third sector, education sector, membership organisations, and private sector organisations. Three different approaches to reciprocal mentoring programmes are set out: reciprocal by design, reciprocal by default, and reciprocal as an output. Each chapter describes a number of different case studies that adopt a variety of approaches to reciprocal mentoring programmes, their contextual relevance, and overall impact and contribution.

This book will be useful for any individuals and teams involved in the development of mentoring programmes. The range of approaches and frameworks presented in this book will benefit mentoring and coaching practitioners, managers, consultants, professionals in a variety of organisational contexts, and researchers.
