Mentoring makes a difference
If you ask successful leaders and managers today about how they got where they are, many will say the key to their career success was, or still is their mentorship.
Interestingly, not all benefits of mentoring are only for a mentee. Mentors can;
- gain personal satisfaction by making a difference in the career development of another person.
- enhance people skills in leadership, communication, and coaching.
- meet the upcoming talent and hear fresh perspectives.
- improve the professional profile.
Some key points to consider for having a successful and beneficial mentoring relationship are:
- find a mentor or mentee that as an individual you really believe in.
- be approachable and available.
- set goals.
- be honest and open, share both the failures and successes in a constructive way.
