Business Mentoring

Business mentoring refers to a developmental relationship in which a more experienced or more knowledgeable person helps a less experienced or less knowledgeable person—who can be referred to as a protégé, or apprentice, to develop in a specified capacity.

There are many benefits of these mentorships. One is that networking occurs more easily and is a possible reason that those mentored tend to do well in organizations. These mentoring relationships provide much substance for career growth, and benefits both the mentor and the mentee. For example, the mentor gets to show leadership by giving back and perhaps being refreshed about their own work. The person being mentored networks, becomes integrated easier in an organization, gets experience and advice along the way. The actual organization receives an employee that is being gradually introduced and shaped by the organization's culture and operation because they have been under the mentorship of an experienced member making the process more seamless.

Having access to a powerful, well schooled mentor, will make the difference between success, and none.  Business mentoring could be well thought of as a roadmap to success.  The person being mentored will have the opportunity to build long term effective businesses that will withstand the test of time.
