Emily Jarvis wrote a new post, 5 Attributes of a Great Mentor – Do You Fit the Bill?, on the site GovLoop 2 years, 9 months ago
Mentorship. The word is gaining a lot of traction in the public sector and is clearly a buzzword in 2017. But despite all the buzz, a lot of confusion surrounds what a mentor actually does.
So what makes a […]
-
These are great attributes Emily – thanks for sharing! Mentorship programs are only as strong as the people that become mentors. If your organization has a formal mentorship program, find out how the vet people that become mentors. Often times it is simply those that volunteer – and are not necessarily the best mentors (see Emily’s article above).
-
Please do not overlook the importance of informal mentorship. The attributes are the same, just without the formal program. I work for a small state agency (about 70 employees) with no formal program. But in my team of six, four of my 5 colleagues, including my boss, are all younger than my oldest kid. The 5th person is still a good 15 years younger than me. I take my informal role of mentoring them and helping them develop very seriously. We have great team dynamics. They appreciate my experience and advice and I love the energy and innovation they bring to the table. You don’t need a formal program to be an effective mentor.
-
Great article Emily,
We are practicing those traits in our mentor program and I am forwarding your article to the others mentors.
