Description
This book--written by Jerry Miller, Anitha Kurup, S. S. Iyengar, Naveen Chaudhary, and Niki Pissinou--not only covers the "tools of the trade" (mentoring how-to), it also examines mentoring's ancient origins since Homer's Odyssey, and peers into its future in virtual and outer space.
Mentors are not born; they are mentees first and they evolve through trials and tribulations to success, to pass on their accumulated knowledge so the next generation can carry the torch yet farther. Such has been the experience of every known brilliant scientist in history. While they possessed the seeds of intellect and passion, they were nurtured to greatness by building on the wisdom and successes of others before them.
Filled with the authors' case studies and anecdotes from contributors, this book explores how we humans learn and pass on wisdom to those that follow. It explores the "mentoring mindset" needed to retrieve and transfer knowledge to the willing ears of mentees as they reach beyond even our newest frontier that is artificial intelligence. Look for answers in the book to questions like these:How do mentees benefit from their mentors?
What are the characteristics of a good mentor?
How are bright minds enabled to realize breakthroughs?
What are mentoring's origins and trends?

Dr. Jerry F. Miller first served in the United States Air Force as a rescue/special operations helicopter pilot. He achieved the rank of colonel before retirement from the Air Force. In addition to being an evaluator pilot and squadron commander, he was also a resources, planning, and programming officer, deliberate plans officer, and foreign area officer for Latin America during his time in uniform. Upon leaving military service, he joined Florida International University (FIU) where he later earned his PhD in computer science. He learned the lesson of mentorship early, as a high school student, where he was too shy to ask for guidance. It cost him a scholarship. Since that time, he has been fortunate to have had mentors who recognized his potential and mentored him to success in academia as well. Today, he is actively mentoring computer science, cybersecurity, and information technology students, who will be our future leaders. More importantly, as we enter the age of artificial intelligence, Dr. Miller is mentoring more experienced mentors in the art and science of finding, connecting, and building lasting relationships with a new generation of protégés struggling to compete in our complex, rapidly changing technological world. Jerry lives in Miami, Florida, where he is married and has ample opportunity to practice mentoring in his blended, multicultural family of six children and their spouses, ten grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
