Mentoring: An Intro For HRM
Have you had a great mentor? It was really helpful right? And if it
was helpful to you, wouldn't it be powerful for organizations?
So, finally, I have covered mentoring - and with a global leader in
mentoring! It's been on my list for quite a while and so I was
delighted to talk to Dr. Laura Lunsford. She wrote the book "Handbook
for Managing Mentoring Programs" and she was a pleasure to talk to! She
knows it inside and out and some of what she shared includes:
🌱🤝 We think mentoring needs to be organic, but programs DO work. Even
when you artificially link two people who might not have formalized a
relationship otherwise, you can have great results. The caveat: you
must be clear about the purpose! See the video below.
🗣️🤔 There's more debate around mentorship than you'd think. If you and
I tried to define mentoring we would likely get different answers!
❌ Mentoring and coaching aren't the same thing.
🙏 Back to my first point: There is a reason young professionals want a
mentor: it's because they know how powerful it can be for their career.
Take note HR: helping a career will help the organization.
