Successful mentoring relationships go through four phases: preparation, negotiating, enabling growth, and closure.<\/p>\n
The concept of mentoring has been around for thousands of years, coming to us from Homer\u00eds Odyssey. Mentor was the teacher of Telemachus, the son of Odysseus. But Mentor was more than a teacher. He was all things to all people\u00f3half-god and half-human, half-male and half-female. Mentor represented the union of both goal and path (Peterson, 1993).<\/p>\n
As Mentor represented the yin and the yang of life, so also mentors must pull and push their mentees. Mentoring requires strength in two different but complementary behaviors. First, mentors must lead by guiding interaction with their mentees. Mentors invest themselves in their mentees and uplift them. Secondly, Mentors must support mentees. Mentors push their mentees to become their best by encouraging development in areas of expressed need in their inventory.<\/p>\n
Beyond these general parameters, what happens in a mentoring relationship has unlimited potential. The appeal of mentoring is that it is oriented toward the needs of individuals. Drawing a \u00econe-sizefits-all\u00ee blueprint for effective mentoring would not be feasible. However, mentoring is not a completely spontaneous endeavor. Based on years of experience, mentors have collaborated and prepared guidelines for the many aspects of the mentoring relationship. The following paragraphs will provide material to be used to further understanding of a mentoring relationship, to initiate a relationship, and to enhance opportunities for success. <\/p>\n
