MENTORING:
A Practical Guide…
This book is about growing and developing the next generation of leaders through practical lenses, nuggets, principles, guidelines, and lessons on mentoring people effectively. Through eight chapters, the book defines mentoring, examines its responsibilities, and describes types of mentoring relationships.
Mentoring often happens in many settings but in an ad hoc manner. But today, we need an intentional, thought-through, and structured process. African society, for instance, valued mentoring so much that young people had to undergo certain rites of passage while transitioning through various stages of life from childhood to adulthood.
Mentoring is a valuable tool in human resource development. Organizations recognize that staff can grow into leadership roles if the requisite investment is made in identifying and developing their capacities and capabilities. The Bible also provides many examples of deliberate mentoring relationships, which I will cover later in this book.
Therefore, this book provides a case for mentoring and practical guidelines for building and developing the next generation of leaders. I have also illustrated specific lessons using my personal stories to paint a realistic approach, not just a theoretical framework.
It also looks at pitfalls to avoid in mentoring and the benefits that mentoring brings. The later chapters also discuss the difference between mentoring, coaching and training. Finally, the book also explores mentoring through different seasons and how to deal with Succession and transition.
At a time when African, and particularly Kenyan, society desperately needs to energize people and produce leaders at all levels, Kingston provides an empowering philosophy and methodology that is the best guarantee of success. As a mentee of Kingston myself, I would say that this book is filled with practical wisdom for people who want to take control of their lives. It provides a perfect blend of wisdom, compassion, and practical experience.
I recommend it because I find this book to be insightful, stimulating and thought-provoking. In fact, I keep referring to it.
I am glad to have come across one of the best, easy to read, understand and apply. The Bible references provide such vivid case references to learn from. Truly great for moulding transformational leaders into the next generation. A beautiful toolkit on mentoring for all fields and contexts! The distinction between mentoring and coaching is well clarified and easy to grasp. Fellow author Rev. Dr. Paul James Mbanga
Kingston has been an incredible mentor and counselor, it’s been a breath of fresh air to be able to sort through life with his kind and wise guidance
I have had the privilege of serving alongside Mr. Ogango. In addition to his role as the Africa Director for Alpha, he serves faithfully on the Biblica board, where his wisdom, strategic insight, and servant-hearted leadership continue to be a source of great encouragement and strength to our mission.
This is not just a theoretical manual on mentorship. It is a heartfelt, practical, and experience-rich guide born out of years of faithful service, personal investment in people, and an unwavering commitment to raising leaders who serve with integrity and purpose. Mr. Ogango’s writing is both accessible and profound, offering timeless principles and actionable steps that are relevant across diverse contexts—whether in ministry, the marketplace, or community leadership.
What makes this book particularly compelling is its grounding in biblical truth and its clear vision for transformational leadership. Mr. Ogango writes not only as a seasoned mentor but as a servant-leader who has walked the journey and is passionate about seeing others rise.
I wholeheartedly recommend Mentoring: A Practical Guide for Growing and Developing Leaders to anyone who desires to be intentional about leadership development. It is a gift to the Church in Africa and beyond, and a worthy nominee for the African Christian Authors Award 2025.
Book: MENTORING: A Practical Guide for Growing and Developing Leaders
Author: Kingston Ogango
I find Kingston to be factual, comprehensive and practical. His strength lies in the ability to blend theory with practical application, using real-life examples and activities that lead to up-to-date mentorship. In his pursuit, Kingston emphasizes the importance of building strong, collaborative relationships, moving beyond a transactional view of leadership. He condenses inept learning and interpersonal relationships, as key elements leading to valuable insights for dynamic leadership.
Recommendation: Kingston is an excellent trainer who is accessible. He is readily keen to guide into mentoring roles. He is a highly recommended for anyone seeking to enhance their mentoring practice or to better understand the mentoring process. He is a valuable resource for mentors, mentees, and those involved in developing mentoring programs.
Thank you Evans for your remarks. Appreciated
I am happy to know Mr. Kingston from a friend in my field of work. At 1st, my approach with Mr. Kingston was formative.. but he blended our interaction genuinely and by the time he was leaving my office we were friends. All along knowing him, I have felt more of a fatherly presence, a caring friend, soft-smiling accomplished man, a mentor and a gentleman full of exquisite taste in fashion all round. He’s absolutely amazing and full of passion of my young generation and he’s always ready to guide, mentor and support. I am privileged to read his book, it’s an amazing mentoring tool that I have learnt a lot from him.
I am forever grateful Sir, for your passion and mentorship both in writing and at your personal interaction one on one.
Thank you so much for this amazing piece!
I recommend to everyone to have a read.
Thank you Katasi it has been an absolute pleasure to know you and the amazing work you do in business and physiotherapy.
We all have to pass on the baton at some point in our lives. Wouldn’t it be good if we pass to people we have walked with and mentored- a people prepared? This book gives nuggets of how we can engage in that. I belive it will be insightful and refreshing for your mentoring journey.
Thank you Magda. I can’t agree more we need to pass on the baton to those we prepare
Kingston is an amazing Coach! I have learned from him the difference between practical resilience and theoratical resilience, something that added value to my own leadership journey – Sam James, KL (Malaysia)

Kingston Ogango, has in the book set out a manual and play book that he lives by. I have watched him practice some of the gems in the book for twenty years. The book is both instructive and practical for our context. It cuts across generations and a must have for any mentor or aspiring mentor.
Thank you Nancy for your kind words. I have gleaned and learnt a lot from you over the years. Blessings
Great job, Kingston.
Your book is one of its kind, bringing the insight of coaching in a very easy to understand approach.
Keep up the great job.
Thank you Sammy for encouragement. Appreciated
Kingston Ogango is an exceptional scholar and a passionate Bible expositor. His commitment to nurturing the next generation is unmatched. Through my journey, I’ve come to realize that mentorship can be both direct and indirect. While I may not meet him in person, I am honored to be among the many online followers of his mentorship programs.
I had the privilege of encountering him through Alpha Africa, where it became clear that he has fully dedicated himself to serving others and impacting lives. He is one of my greatest trainers through the Leadwell Leadership Training.
Kingstone is a man of God, full of wisdom and humility. He is open to mentoring others, and his example of leadership is inspiring.
I pray that I continue to grow through his influence, moving from one glory
Thank you Lydia.
It has been an absolute pleasure interacting with you in various forums and encouraged by your curiosity and learning posture.
In reading this book, you see that Kingston’s passion and interest in mentorship is not just a theoretical topic to write on, but a practical part of his life that he so gladly enjoys. In a world where “every man for himself” is the order of the day, we desperately need individuals who can defy the status quo and commit to sacrificially journeying with others.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who desires to pour their life into other people and those who seek to learn the ropes of Mentorship.
Thank you Julia for the words of encouragement and recommendation. Blessings
Kingston exemplifies the essence of mentorship through his actions rather than merely discussing it. Congratulations to him on this well-deserved recognition.

Great reading, very practical with real life examples from Africa and the rest of the world. Beautiful and relevant scriptures. Very informative for all generations. Congratulations Kingston
Thank you Mercy. Most appreciated
I have known Kingston for some 20 years now and the outstanding thing about him is mentorship.
Kingston has distinguished himself over the years as one who seeks mentorship out for himself and those close to him in different aspects of his life. He is intentional, humble, diligent, faithful, committed, open, transparent… and much more.
If there’s someone qualified to speak on the topic from a mentee experience and perspective, l believe Kingston is an authority! I read and highly recommend his book on the subject.
Thank you Alice, God has you to shape me over the years. You have been an outstanding mentor. Blessings
WOW! It’s incredible! The way you’ve shared your knowledge and experience on mentorship is both inspiring and practical. You’ve not only written a guide, but you’ve also created something that will truly help people grow and lead with purpose..Thank you Mr. Ogango
Thank you Rubi for the encouragement and words of wisdom. Appreciated
I attended a leadership training where Kingston was the facilitator, and I was truly impressed by his ability to bring out the essence of servant leadership. He not only explained the concept but also demonstrated it through his approach, making it clear that true leadership is about service, humility, and empowering others. His insights challenged us to shift from authority-driven leadership to a model that prioritizes team growth, collaboration, and leading by example. The session was both inspiring and practical, leaving us with valuable takeaways on how to implement servant leadership in our daily roles.”
Thank you Pauline for your words of inspiration. Appreciated
“Mentoring” by Kingston Ogango is a true eye-opener on the value and importance of investing in mentoring relationships. It provides excellent practical frameworks for both mentor and mentee to work within, to ensure a fruitful and mutually-beneficial relationship. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much Thando. Appreciated
Mentorship is a great ministry in The Lord’s vineyard because mentees get an opportunity to acquire skills, knowledge, wisdom and even revelations from a mentor hence ensuring growth, sustainability and even innovation. Thank you Kingston for this valuable practical book which even inexperienced people could utilise for the benefit of mankind.
Thank you David. I appreciate your words of encouragement and recommendation
This journey of leadership, coaching and mentorship requires patience and a heart attuned to the Master the Lord Jesus Christ. Over the years, I have observed you and see that this is the foundation of what you do:the love for the Lord. Keep yourself in the vineyard, and the Master will continue to speak, and mould others through you as you submit to His guidance breath after breath.
Thank you Amadalo. You have been one amazing mentor over the 3 decades I have known you. Thanks for your recommendation
In the four decades that I have known and had the pleasure to work with Kingston, it is clear that Mentorship is not just a vital part of his commitment to ministry – it is a driving force that he is determined to inspire others to commit to as well. Kingston walks the talk and the results are evident not only in the calibre of young leaders he is mentoring but also in the vision for the future already evident in his mentees. I highly recommend this book and the author’s passion in mentoring the next generations.
Thank you Rev. Kwame.
You have invested in me great gems over the years. I am forever grateful.
Leaders make policies. Others ignite movements. This book is about those who don’t wait for change; but rather create it. In the heart of every thriving community, there is a champion leading the charge. This is the one who builds, empowers, and transforms turning once-forgotten spaces into hubs of innovation and growth and this book is the bag of ingredients that enables you to do this – if you are action oriented.
It is a must read if you are a leader looking out to enter the space where there is breaking barriers, proving that the ripple effect is undeniable. Families prosper. Businesses grow. Futures are rewritten.
Thank you Kate for the great wisdom and recommendation. Blessings
This is a very relevant topic in our day and age where most young people prefer starting from the top and have little tolerance for humility and perseverance to grow holistically one step at a time (which is where mentorship comes in as it offers an opportunity to learn from those who have gone before). I enjoyed every page of your book Sir Kingston.
Thank you Rev. Ken. You have are a great gift and blessing to this generation.
As part of leadership development we talk of mentorship. In this classic book, Mr Ogango has laid out the nuts and bolts of mentorship. It is a handy book, easy to read and apply. I highly recommend it.
Thank Rev. Truphie. You have been a great encouragement. You were one are of those who inspired and spurred me on to write this book. I appreciate you.
We all need mentors, regardless of age or experience. There is always something to learn and growth opportunities. Mentoring is a vital leadership imperative that enables leaders to shape the next generation while drawing on their past expertise. I invite you to get a copy of my book and discover how we can nurture and cultivate future leaders.
Not many books are locally available on this important topic: Mentorship.
Kingstone Ogango has written this book very simply and from his wealth of experience. For mentors and mentees who wish to perform their respective roles effectively, this is a must read.
Thank you Justice Musinga. You are a great mentor. I have loved your humility and openness to mentor those behind you. Blessings
