The authors of the latest edition of The Elements of Mentoring have categorized sixty-five elements into six sections dealing with subjects such as mentor skills, traits, relationship matters, self-knowledge of mentors, mentorship restoration, and matters of closure. According to Johnson and Ridley (2008), the elements of mentoring are like tools in a toolbox. Adult educators will find them helpful in creating and maintaining outstanding mentorships with both colleagues and students. The first section describes positive qualities that exceptional mentors need to use while mentoring protégés. For example, the authors state that "Mentors should expect more of their protégés than their protégés typically expect of themselves" (p. 9). Furthermore, it also states that "Good mentors teach protégés strategies for managing conflict, and coach them on setting short and long-term goals" (p. 16). Section one also includes a comprehensive list of the characteristics essential to being an excellent mentor. A description of positive personality traits and interpersonal style are presented in the second section of the book. The authors also recommend a number of behaviors that are good to acquire as an active or prospective mentor. These behaviors include exuding emotional warmth, respecting privacy, and demonstrating trustworthiness to name a few.
