TrainingBriefs® Mentoring: Setting Goals

A mentor is one of any organization’s greatest resources. They fulfill that crucial role of helping newer team members learn about their new job - and their new organization. A key part of the conversation you’ll have with your mentee over time is about their short and long-term goals. As part of this, it’s important to ask your mentee to discuss his or her strengths and weaknesses both interpersonal and job-related skills.

Always remind your mentee’s that your role is to give them a perspective, so they can adjust their course and help them move closer to their goals.
