McCarthy Mentoring

Mentoring has become one of the popular management tools of the decade.

While it has always existed informally in communities and organisations it has now achieved the formal status of professional development. It seems that everyone needs a mentor.

A mentoring relationship is one where a wiser and more experienced person assists another person to grow and learn.

The ideal mentor is a person who can be thought of as a tribal elder or trusted adviser. They can be particularly valuable in times of transition and can assist mentees to manage a new role or promotion, negotiate maternity/ paternity leave or new working arrangements.

A mentor can be the person who explains the software of senior corporate life to those aspiring to be a part of it.

In the modern workplace where change is a given and diversity an ideal, there is a need for people to have more one-on-one support.

Mentoring is a cost effective way of addressing these issues.
