Hello everyone!
It’s a well-known fact that when a high-ranking manager takes a younger employee under his or her wing, becomes that person’s mentor. The protégé not only has a head start for advancement, but will obtain more know-how about the work, the workings of the company, and the “tricks of the trade” than others. By structuring a mentoring program and assigning the best people on your team the responsibility of mentoring a new member, you take a giant step forward in encouraging productivity and growth in the newcomer. A structured mentoring program requires that chosen mentors be willing to take on the job. Compelling someone to be a mentor is self-defeating. Not everybody is interested in or qualified for this assignment. New mentors should be trained in the art of mentoring by experienced people. |

I totally agree with your view on mentoring, especially on the point made in your second paragraph, that mentors should be trained. I personally believe that mentoring is serious business and the rewards can last for a lifetime. Thanks. |
