KMC 4) INTEGRITY (Part 2)

Key Mentorship Characteristics (KMC)

We invited our friends and readers to add their perspective on the role of “INTEGRITY” in Mentorship.

Please feel free to share your experience with respect to this aspect of mentorship and invite others to participate where you feel they could add value to our discussion.

We asked:

• What is the role of INTEGRITY within a mentoring relationship?

• What does INTEGRITY mean to you?

• How is INTEGRITY developed between the mentoring partners?

We've had so many great comments that have come in on the topic of TRUST within Mentorship Relationships.

In March of 2013 we added a post to this BLOG that featured a portion of the interview that we had with Glenn Furuya, President & CEO at Leadership Works, LLC.  We met Glenn while in Honolulu, Hawaii and he graciously accepted our invitation to record our discussion regarding MENTORSHIP. In this segment, Glenn talks about something he calls, "The 3 - RITY" - and the role that Charity, Clarity and Integrity play within the mentoring relationship. These three characteristics are essential to building trust between the Mentee and the Mentor.

Profoundly insightful, Glenn highlights the "3 - RITY" in more detail:

Charity - the Mentee needs to know that the Mentor is coming from the right place, and that they have a genuine care for the well-being of the Mentee.

Clarity - The Mentee needs to know and appreciate that the Mentor can help them find clarity of direction, thought, and navigate their way through difficult times.

Integrity - The Mentee needs to see that the Mentor 'walks the talk' and that their values match their behaviours and actions.
