Be More Loyal to Your Mentee Than You Are to the Company
All
too often, mentoring can become just another task on your to-do list.
But mentoring requires developing a genuine rapport. Studies show that
even the best-designed mentoring programs are no substitute for an
authentic, collegial relationship between mentor and mentee. You need a
baseline chemistry with your mentee, and you must have their best
interests at heart — even if those interests aren’t the same as the
company’s. Of course, it would be great if your mentee wanted to sustain
a long career at your organization, but it’s more important to help
them discover their strengths and passions and the best place to apply
both. When counseling your mentee on career decisions, encourage them to
find their calling whether it’s at your company or somewhere else. In
fact, this is the best way to inspire commitment.
