    Mentoring in Organisations

    Mentoring is used in organisations for various purposes e.g.

    Support for development

    Induction

    Career progression

    Support in a new job or project

    Within change programmes

    What is Mentoring?

    The relationship between mentor and mentee is all important.

    There needs to be a high degree of trust and mutual regard

    The mentor helps another person become what that person aspires to be

    The mentor helps the mentee to realise his or her potential

    You have probably been mentored already. Ask yourself these questions:

    Who took an interest in my welfare and development?

    Who has been a useful role model in my life?

    Who helped me to uncover and use hidden talent or ability?

    Who helped me face and resolve a difficult situation in my personal and/orprofessional life?

    Who challenged me to acquire a new vision and take a new direction?The answer = A mentor.

    Mentoring The Benefits

    Mentee benefits by developing confidence, learning moreeffectively and quickly, and acquiring new perspectives

    Mentor benefits by acquiring improved ways of working withpeople and satisfying the desire to help others

    Both mentor and mentee benefit by developing a widerperspective on their organisation and work

    Line Manager benefits by having a more motivated and effective teammember

    Organisation benefits by having more fulfilled, committed,resourceful and motivated employees

    Mentoring, Coaching & Training

    There is no simple distinction between these activities. However:

    Coaching tends to have a specific and tightly focused goal (e.g.: helpingsomeone to prepare for an interview or to make a presentation to an audience)

    Training tends to be wholly work related and concentrates exclusively onsomeones professional skills, knowledge and behaviours

    Mentoring goes further in offering support and advice to someone as aperson, and may touch on any aspect of their life the mentor may offercoaching or training from time to time as appropriate, but may also encourage

    the mentee to seek help from specialists in these roles.

    Your First Mentoring Meeting

    Ideally, you should make contact with your new mentee within 5 10 days ofreceiving their details. You can then arrange your first phone or face to face

    meeting. During that meeting you should consider the following and make achecklist throughout the meeting:

    What do you expect to learn from each other

    What are your responsibilities towards each other

    Where and how often will you meet and for how long

    What limits (if any) are there on confidentiality

    When and how will you check the relationship is right for both of you

    Agree that openness and trust are essential. Agree how that will happen

    Gain agreement to give honest and timely feedback (e.g. to be a criticalfriend)

    How formal or informal do you want the meetings to be?

    If you need an agenda or if youll agree topics on the day?

    How will you know if the mentoring support is working?

    Your key areas for discussion throughout the relationship will be:

    o Work related issues

    o General basic training issues

    o Personal/domestic issues (if appropriate)

    How and when the mentee will give feedback to the mentor

    How youll know that the mentoring relationship has run its course

    Tips for Effective Mentoring

    1. Understand how mentoring differs from other roles you are asked to play.You may also be taking on the role of coach.

    2. Take on the role only if you are willing and able to invest the time and effortto be a good mentor.

    3. Invest time early on in the relationship to establish rapport and a regularschedule for discussions as appropriate.

    4. Recognise your own strengths and weaknesses in relation to yourcolleagues needs, so that you can guide them to other sources of help where

    appropriate. You are not expected to be their main point of contact foreverything they do, their line manager also needs to support, guide anddevelop them.

    5. Understand the distinction between counselling and advising, andwhenever possible encourage your new colleague to work out their ownsolutions with you acting only as a sounding board.

    6. Remember that you will be seen as a role model and that how you are seen

    to manage in day to day situations will affect the relationship you have withthis person.

    7. The feedback you give should be clear, honest, and constructive, and bedesigned to build confidence.

    8. Remember you dont need to be formally trained to be a great Mentor.Youve been chosen by the mentee because of the knowledge, skills andexperience that you have.

    9. Keep it simple.

    Mentoring, Coaching & Training

    There is no simple distinction between these activities. However:

    Coaching tends to have a specific and tightly focused goal (e.g.: helpingsomeone to prepare for an interview or to make a presentation to an audience)

    Training tends to be wholly work related and concentrates exclusively onsomeones professional skills, knowledge and behaviours

    Mentoring goes further in offering support and advice to someone as aperson, and may touch on any aspect of their life the mentor may offercoaching or training from time to time as appropriate, but may also encourage

    the mentee to seek help from specialists in these roles.

    Attributes of a Good Mentor

    Very well developed interpersonal skills

    Ability to empathise and appreciate how a colleague thinks, feels andbehaves

    They have an open mind and a flexible, positive attitude

    Inspire and motivate others

    Time management Personal issuesFinding the right mentor

    The mentoring relationship is primarily about you.your welfare, yourdevelopment and your progress

    Check out who is available as a mentor Who do you know that you respect or that you know has some of the

    experience, skills or attributes that you are interested in Is it important to you to have a mentor from the same e.g. ethnic/ gender

    background? If you dont know anyone ask a colleague who could help

    If your mentoring arrangements are part of a programme of mentoring thenidentify a few mentors in case demand is high and be ready to wait if yourmentor is popular

    Some mentees do find themselves with more than one mentor Confidentiality is crucial. Secrecy is inappropriate. Should your mentoring

    relationship result in disclosure of information that could put patients or staffat risk or a conflict of interest arises then your mentor will discuss with youwhat the next steps should be. In addition if you mentor feels unable tosupport you with a particular issue then they will be only too happy to point

    you in the direction of another colleague that could help.

    The process youll be part of

    Stage 1: Establish theRelationship

    Stage 2: CreateUnderstanding as

    Relationship Develops

    Stage 3: Action Plan

    Prepare your agenda Talk about yourself Make decisionsBe ready to share

    information aboutyourself

    Listen and ask

    questions

    Think in different ways

    Listen and ask openquestions

    Be ready to prioritise Develop your PersonalDevelopment plans

    Agree how frequentlyyou will speak and forhow long

    Get prepared for thosechallenging questions

    Keep things practical

    Give your views, ideasand opinions and then
