All stakeholders in the mentoring process—the company, the mentor, and the mentee—benefit when mentors think and act strategically.
Whether you’re just beginning a mentoring program or already have one, consider the following diagnostic checklist of effective mentoring practices to identify potential improvements for your process:
- Is mentoring a priority?
- How visible are your mentee’s assignments to upper management?
- How and how often do you review progress on assignments with your mentee?
- What resources are available to help your mentee learn and navigate the workplace culture?
- How does the mentee learn about external market and industry dynamics that affect your business?
- Do you have a mentoring process that specifically addresses senior-level mentees?
For a deeper dive into this post, along with “answers” to the diagnostic questions above, see the full text article in the AMA Playbook, accessible here https://playbook.amanet.org/training-articles-checklist-evaluate-mentoring-program/#.XGrZWxEhYCQ.link
