NOW, here are a few of the key thoughts that Ian provided to encourage those who are considering being involved in a Mentorship relationship.
I’d urge anyone interested in developing others, or in developing themselves to seek out such a relationship. Best also that the mentor not have a direct responsibility in the workplace for the performance or results of the mentoree. Mentorees should be sure to find a mentor who they feel comfortable with, and who they feel has the skills and qualities that they would like to develop within themselves.
Mentors should be sure that they have a real interest in the mentoree’s career, that they have the time and energy to commit to the relationship, and that they will be comfortable communicating with that person.
