Here are some further thoughts after further reflection on our previous series of BLOG posts regarding Key Characteristics in Healthy Mentoring Relationships.
* IN THIS POST we're asking: What are your thoughts on the importance of pro-actively stepping forward to advocate on behalf of a Mentee?
If for example, let's consider the big picture and the 'long-term' development within the business or organization we're trying to move forward. What sort of involvement or support might have contributed to the realization that the successful person has achieved their success as a result of, to use that great imagery, "Standing on the shoulders of giants".
It reminds me of the developmental role and responsibility of leaders to groom the next generation of leaders. And that may well be to in some way: INTERCEDE, ADVOCATE and MENTOR them through their preparation process! After all, when you honestly think about it ... isn’t that what others did to help you along your path?
- Is there someone you still need to thank for the help they provided you?
- Who can you help in the development of their career path?
- What are your thoughts on this, OR a related experience you can share?
PLEASE ... add a few comments for us all to consider and share with others. (Thanks)
