Leadership Tip of the Day for Busy Managers and Leaders: How to Mentor Someone
You’ve been asked to mentor someone. First, you arrange a meeting. Then what? This week the Wily Manager guys discuss how to mentor someone. If you’ve never had a mentor yourself, this is required reading.
Monday’s Tip (How To Mentor Someone): Say no if you are not committed. Being a Mentor will take time and energy. If you’re not sure if you can commit the effort, you should decline the invitation.
Tuesday’s Tip (How To Mentor Someone): Act like a Role Model. Your actions will always speak louder than your words, and as a mentor, you will be observed closely.
Wednesday’s Tip (How To Mentor Someone): Be an amazingly great listener. The ability to listen empathetically is a basic requirement to be a mentor. The better your listening skills, the more effective a mentor you will be.
Thursday’s Tip (How To Mentor Someone): Don’t pull punches – tell ‘em what they might not want to hear. It’s difficult to tell people things they don’t want to hear, but this is likely the most important function of being a mentor.
Friday’s Tip (How To Mentor Someone): Put some structure into the relationship – a mentorship agreement. A mentorship agreement will document responsibilities and roles of both parties. This little bit of structure will make any mentoring relationship even better.
3 Things to Remember About How To Mentor Someone:
1) Don’t bother if you’re not committed. A mentoring relationship will take some time and energy. If you’re unwilling or unable to make that investment, you should decide early on NOT to do it.
2) It’s about accelerating development. Mentoring relationships are intended to advance the career of the mentee, and skill building. If you’re uncomfortable in such a role, you should not volunteer.
3) Use a mentoring agreement. A bit of structure can help the relationship significantly.
