Summary: Security Of The Mentorship

Each disposition highlights an important skill mentors must have and apply to their mentoring service. Whether I was working on a worksheet with a student, or doing one-on-one reading with a mentee, I easily found myself using each disposition. The dispositions I found myself using most often were responsibility, flexibility, initiative, respect, reflection, and thoughtful and responsive listener. These six dispositions are central in reaching mentees and mentoring successfully.

Criminologist James Fox of Northeastern University predicts that murders committed by teens will skyrocket as the population of kids 10 and under is higher than population of 21st century teens by 20%. (Stephens) Mentoring is the act of helping out someone that isn't as knowledgeable or experienced in different areas. The goal is to make them leaders. (Patterson)

It is difficult for me to talk about him in this particular area. Unfortunately, I have not seen every detail of his performance now that he is a mentor. Based on my observations, the only thing I can think of to measure his performance in this area is by looking at the results and measuring the performance of all the new hires that I know he has mentored. Unfortunately this results have been a little mixed. A few of the new hires he has trained have either left the company , not perform well, or there are some that are performed really

A mentoring relationship can ¬¬occur at any phase of an individual’s career, whether a new graduate, an experienced nurse assuming a nurse manager or clinical nurse specialist position, or an established clinician taking on a leadership position as the chairperson of a shared governance council. (“Mentoring Nurses,” 2013, para

Furthermore, Munson (2010) also explored the nature of non-family, natural mentoring relationships between mentors and youths who were in the process of exiting foster care. These authors found that most youths meet mentors through formal systems such as adults who work in child welfare, education, or mental health. In both of these studies, it was the qualitative nature of the relationship that was examined, such as positive characteristics of mentors, features of the relationship perceived to be helpful, and the kind of support the mentors offered

The lack of time allocated to the mentoring process is an issue of concern. This often may occur because too much of the time has been spent on other tasks such as paperwork, rather than reflecting or discussing about the progress, areas of concern or issues that have arisen (Lofthouse & Thomas, 2014). Another issue that often arises is the various roles that the mentor may hold. According to Lofthouse and Thomas, (2014), the various roles that a mentor has and the expectations of each role that they are expected to perform in, may affect the amount of mentoring time available to the mentee. This will often leave the mentee feeling frustrated as they will need to wait, or may not get the opportunity to discuss issues that may be experiencing (Lofthouse & Thomas,

When I got hired I was not mentored by anyone and it took me little longer to understand my job as compare to if I was mentored. I can also see the rationale some manager might use to have intention non-mentoring plan as they probably do not want departing employee to bad mouth about the department, other employees and the organization. I can see that happening especially if person is resigning due to some bitterness or when the person is asked to leave. In your case when you were promoted in the same organization your manager should have valued you more and let you mentor the new hire, but human nature is complex and sometimes, people behave irrational. Eventually, you end up mentoring via cheat sheets anyways.

Mentoring can provide an opportunity to help young people attain developmental assets or skills in science that are needed to better deal with various challenges of the modern world. As I come from a country that most students in the US are not so acquinted with (Croatia, Europe), that may open some new perspectives in scientific thinking and consequently give an edge in the ensuing Innovation Challenges. Furthermore, as I am a medical doctor with a PhD in Biomedical in Health Sciences, and the 2017 innovation challenges focus on Public Health and Well-being, I think I can provide some valuable insight for the students interested in pursuing this opportunity. Finally, I strongly believe that each of us who takes on this challenge will grow

Professional mentorship has been identified as an important component of professional engagement, professional growth, and advancement. In his career, the author has encountered different mentors who have made an impact in his life. “To be successful in any field, aspiring leaders require role models and guidance…. A mentor affects the professional life of a protege by fostering insight, identifying needed knowledge, and expanding growth opportunities” (Hollister, R. L., 2001). As a junior registered nurse, the author was mentored by Ms. Carol an Emergency Room (ER) who identified his leadership skills and started allocating roles and responsibilities. This was not without challenge, the author faced opposition from senior nurses and other

For the first day of team discussion, the topic 'Why Mentoring' was discussed. The points that my team raised resonated with the rest of the teams. Some of the points that were brought up during the discussion included mentoring as an opportunity to inspire, reflect and learn, as a form of exchanging of new ideas (innovation), succession planning for the organization, grooming people and tapping on resources to raise competencies, bridging the generational gap (experience vs new hires), as career development and psychosocial for both Mentors and Mentees.

The only way to succeed in this world is to make connections that will help you in the future or better you in some way or another. A great way to do that is by getting a mentor who has gone through what you are going through and help you through it. Because at its most basic level, mentoring is there to help guarantee a young person that there is someone who cares about them. A child is not alone in dealing with day-to-day challenges. And for me I was fortunate enough to meet my connection in high school. My first couple years in high school I had only heard of him, never sat down and had a conversation with him. Then one day my junior year of high school he reached out to me to be a part of a program he was chosen to be in charge of. This

Great discussion post on a fascinating topic that carries a lot of importance not only in the business world, but in all aspects of life. Having good mentors to develop habits, traits, and work ethics are more valuable than anyone can realize at an individual prospective in addition to a company’s career ladder when looking towards long term success. I believe that having mentors at a young age is the most critical setting and time in one’s life due to that stint being your “DNA” or make and most valuable stage where one is still learning, finding who they are, and willing to listen. With that said, all ages can have mentors that carry great importance, but a young individual is more susceptible of making mistakes or decisions that

Mentorship is very important in the workplace especially in the area of training and development. The mentor-protégé relationship is a much needed relationship that begins in the early career stage and this relationship involves the current or new employees and the supervisor or other colleagues that provide work-related guidance. The relationship itself is comprehensive and involves “educational, occupational, physical, social, and spiritual development” (Greenhaus,, Callanan, & Godshalk, 2010, p 211). One of the initial task of the early career the establishment of the career field which involves the gaining of the workplace competence, learn what is needed to excel in the organization, and to gain acceptance in the workplace to be recognized as the valued employee. There are many ways of achieving the above mentioned advantages in the workplace which one main method is through the use of the mentorship program.
