Why Everyone Benefits When Male Leaders Mentor Women

A new book by two Naval Academy professors argues that men and women both benefit from mentoring across gender lines.
“Athena Rising: How and Why Men Should Mentor Women” is a book for men.

The recent leadership guide by Naval Academy Professors Dr. W. Brad Johnson and Capt. David G. Smith is a call to action for male leaders to use their positions of power and authority to promote talented women — throughout the book called “Athenas” after the Greek goddess of wisdom — through active mentorship.
