The Mentor Leader™ – Secrets to building people and teams that win consistently
INTRODUCTION
Become an influential and powerful Mentor!
Mentoring is to support and encourage people to manage their own learning in order that they may maximize their potential, develop their skills, improve their performance and become the person they want to be; it plays a key role in developing one’s career. The manager-employee relationship focuses on achieving the objectives of the department and the company. A mentor-mentee relationship focuses on developing the mentee professionally and personally. The roles of manager and mentor are fundamentally different. That’s why structured mentoring programs never pair mentors with their direct reports. True mentoring is more than just answering occasional questions or providing ad hoc help. It is about an ongoing relationship of learning, dialogue, and challenge. “Mentoring” is a process that always involves communication and is relationship based upon mutual trust and respect. This workshop aims to provide a pool of knowledge and understanding to anyone interested in the topic of mentoring. It will also equip participants with practical tools that will help to master the skills as mentor, or interest as mentee. Why do organizations implement formal mentoring programs?
Why do organizations implement formal mentoring programs?
Organizations recognize that workforce demographics have changed dramatically in recent years, as women and members of different minority groups have joined the workforce in greater numbers. In addition, technology has automated traditional employee functions and continues to affect on-the-job performance, altering the way people see themselves within the corporate structure. With these changes, organizations are finding it difficult to recruit and retain qualified personnel. On the plus side, organizations find today’s employees exhibit a more flexible approach to work. On the minus side, employees may feel less loyalty to the organizations for which they work. Organizations now look to mentoring to implement a strategic game plan that includes: Recruitment, Retention, Professional development and Development of a multicultural workforce.
