In this episode, Christy and David talk about reverse mentoring and what it means in a 4.0 organization.

They discuss what it means, its difference from traditional mentoring, and why you should practice it as

a leader.

What is reverse mentoring? Reverse mentoring is about creating space for the younger and less-

seasoned people in an organization to mentor the older generation. It involves more topic-based

mentoring where you’re open to learning from the new people in the organization as a leader.

Why do reverse mentoring? Reverse mentoring allows you as the leader to equalize the relationship

between you and employees, which leads to better communication and a direct connection at all levels

of the organization. It also creates space for diversity and inclusion and its tangible value.

How to get started. To build a mentoring process, try a series of things like starting a presentation day,

having a challenge, practicing humble leadership, and even getting someone like a millennial summer

intern to help people in the organization learn.

Listen in to understand the value of practicing reverse mentoring for the organization. employees, and

you as the leader.
