Mentoring

Everyone needs a mentor. Everyone needs to be a mentor. As we gain experience from our career assignments and exposure to all different circumstances, we need to record what works and what does not. And, then share it.

That is mentoring and we all need to be involved. Every good leader needs to encourage mentoring within their ranks. All workers need a go-to coworker who would be considered a mentor.

We all make mistakes in our work lives, we all can learn from our mistakes. We can also share our discoveries with others as we coach others to success. This too, is all part of mentoring.

No matter how good you are or how experienced you may be, you need a trusted confidant who understands you and your ideas. This is priceless. On the contrary, no matter how little experience you may have, you can still be of help to others. You might be able to do it alone, but you can do it better with the help of a mentor.
