A Mentor Can Help You Succeed
Mentoring is a term historically used to describe a teacher-student relationship. In the business world, mentoring occurs when a more experienced professional (the mentor) gives significant career assistance to a less-experienced professional (the protégé). Mentoring relationships are particularly helpful during a period of transition such as a new business launch, new product introduction or business expansion.
Find a Mentor Who’s Right for You:
- Look for someone who has knowledge and business experience in areas you don't.
- Make sure the mentor you choose desires to be a mentor. A mentoring relationship requires consent by both parties.
- Look for what you can offer the mentor - make the relationship mutually beneficial.
