[amdavadis4ever] Mentoring: An Essential Leadership Skill!

 

Mentoring: An Essential Leadership Skill! Mentoring is an essential leadership skill. In addition to managing and motivating people, it's also important that you can help others around you to learn, grow and become more effective. You can do this through a personal or professional skill.   Mentoring can be a rewarding experience for you, both personally and professionally. You can improve your leadership and communication skills, learn new perspectives and ways of thinking, advance your career, and gain a great sense of personal satisfaction. Do you want to share your knowledge and experience with others? Do you enjoy encouraging and motivating others? Do you want to contribute to other people's growth and success? Are you prepared to invest your time in mentoring on a regular basis? Are you ready to add to your sense of contribution and community? Practical considerations: How much time can you commit to this relationship? - How long can you spend in each meeting? - Do you want to be available between "formal" sessions? Method of contact - Would you prefer face-to-face meetings, phone calls, or emails? Skills, knowledge, and experience - What specific expertise can you offer to a mentee? Confidentiality - How will you approach confidential business information? Think of ways to speak about general concepts and situations while maintaining confidentiality. When developing a mentoring partnership, make sure you have clear boundaries of what you can and cannot do for the mentee. Answer the above questions to help you clearly define these boundaries for yourself. Then, when you meet your potential mentee, you'll better understand your own mindset - what areas you're interested in covering, and what you will and will not do. As a general guide, focus on your expertise and experience. As a mentor, you can become the mentee's confidante and adviser. You may be called upon to be a "sounding board" for all sorts of issues and concerns. So know in advance how you're going to deal with difficult situations and getting "off subject." Mentoring can also give you a great overall sense of personal satisfaction. If you become mentor, the time and effort that you put into it can reap great rewards that far exceed your expectations.
