Are there things you can do more of to become an effective mentor? Do you spend enough "quality time" with your mentee? Do you know another mentor with whom to compare notes and teach each other new mentoring behaviors?
Today's mentors need to take advantage of everyday work situations as opportunities to mentor. This assessment gives ideas to develop new skills over time so mentors can identify and respond to mentoring situations accurately, gauge where the mentee is in her/his developmental journey, and then alter their response accordingly.
Why is mentoring important?
According to a survey by Development Dimensions International—which included leaders and human resources representatives—91% of leaders who have reported using a coach or mentor found the experience greatly beneficial to their careers.
1) Mentors establish a positive personal relationship. Mentees often gain a sense of self--worth when they recognize that another adult is willing to invest time and energy into them.
2) Mentors help develop life skills such as decision-making, long-range planning, communication, time management and goal-setting skills.
3) Mentors are knowledgeable about the social services in their mentees' communities and can be part of a "mentor network", which can provide guidance to mentees.
4) Mentors are aware of and able to interact with other social and cultural groups, and to understand the current issues that affect mentees.
