Important Thoughts on Mentoring
Mentoring is defined by the nature and intention of a relationship, rather than the specific behaviors within it. While a mentor has unique attributes that define the role, this role is familiar to us and we can identify people we feel are or have been a mentor to us. Additionally, we regularly perform this role for others, often without appreciating that. An active mentor relationship has typical attributes that work together to create a foundation for success.
As you mentor someone else, your effective choices or responses are supported by a set of guiding principles. Mentors come in different shapes and guises and yet share the same tendencies and abilities. An active mentor relationship (or assignment) is supported by the idea of a process or journey, i.e. an experience with a beginning, middle and end. During the journey of any mentor, there are pitfalls (or risks) that the mentor must avoid along the way.
By staying aware of these potential pitfalls, you can avoid them or respond constructively as they arise. As with any potential risk, you need a balanced approach (to avoid creating an issue where none actually exists). It’s a good idea to check back over the list of pitfalls occasionally, or use reflection techniques to maintain self-awareness.

There are different activities and stages that naturally occur as you mentor someone. These stages of a mentor’s involvement will be especially relevant if you view your mentor relationship as an assignment, i.e. a series of conversations with an intended duration. For example, you may agree an assignment to provide mentoring support for a period of 18 months and meet your mentee, in person, ev...

Guiding Principles in Mentoring
Переглядів 932 місяці тому
The relationship is a meeting of equals, even though you might often be judged more senior than your mentee. In an organizational context especially, it’s a natural feature that someone more experienced might have a more senior role, or be considered to have more status in the relationship. This creates a natural emphasis or bias towards what you think and believe as a mentor. Where your intent...

A mentor is someone who takes on the role of a trusted adviser, supporter, teacher and wise counsel to another person. A mentor adopts a primarily selfless role in supporting the learning, development and ultimate success of another person.

Final Thoughts on Mentoring

Being a mentor for someone requires us to gather what we have experienced and share it with someone else. For a mentee, the gifts of being mentored include practical assistance, learning, growth and personal support that confirms that they are both valuable and valued.

Mentors Avoid Dependency
Переглядів 742 місяці тому
As a mentor, the pitfall of dependency is one you need to stay aware of and yet not become distracted by. Asking the mentee to assist in monitoring the potential issue isn’t helpful. Also, you can distract or waste time looking for issues that are not there instead of focusing on positive topics, such as the mentee’s progress. As a mentor, you can combine the potential issue of dependency with ...
Mentors Set Direction and Help
Переглядів 662 місяці тому
Any one-on-one relationship presents the potential for either party (or both parties) to become dependent on each other. By becoming dependent, one party feels a sense of reliance on the other for something and would feel a sense of loss (or being uncomfortable) at the idea of not having it. It is important that you and your mentee remain independent of each other to enable the benefits of ment...
Mentors Shouldn't be Disengaged
Переглядів 512 місяці тому
As an effective mentor, you aim to sustain good levels of engagement, both for yourself and your mentee. Engagement enables a successful relationship for the mentor and mentee because they can be aligned on the goals of mentoring and invested in the process of achieving them. Engagement is a combination of our intellection, how we understand something, our emotion, how we feel about it, and our...
Mentors Shouldn't Suggest Superiority
Переглядів 632 місяці тому
Allowing the idea of being a mentor to suggest superiority or prestige is a pitfall. This pitfall occurs when we confuse an emphasis or focus on the mentor (because we have something the mentee wants) with superiority. This pitfall of superiority is a subtle one as it demands self-awareness from you as a mentor to spot both the tendency and the impact it is having upon your outlook and behavior...
Mentors Shouldn't have an Agenda
Переглядів 532 місяці тому
This pitfall occurs when a mentor distorts the intention of providing appropriate assistance by adding their own agenda. It is natural for a mentor to want their mentee to gain positive benefit from their involvement and make progress. However, a mentor’s intention can develop into wanting something specific for them, based on their own view. A mentor’s agenda can often develop as they begin to...
Mentors Shouldn't Pressure Themselves
Переглядів 642 місяці тому
An effective mentor is able to experience an appropriate amount of pressure and still react constructively in situations. An example of ‘appropriate pressure’ might be that you regard your role as important and one that you want to do well at. This positive type of pressure motivates you to function well in interactions with your mentee. While some levels of pressure are healthy and enlivening,...
