An Additional Friend

To be effective, a mentor and mentee must have a good rapport since both work and personal matters are discussed. Hence, friendship must ensue for both parties to get along well. Without a friend-like relationship, then mentoring will suffer a lot.

Someone Who Got You

That someone has your back is comforting and valuable. Especially when a mentor is a senior colleague,  they’ll advise on steps to take when contending for promotion or a bigger role at work. Sometimes a mentor can give recommendations about you to the decision-makers and this increases your chances of landing a role.

Continuous Learning

A famous adage says “we stop learning when we die”. This implies that mentoring is continuous. As long as you keep working, mentorship continues. Don’t be surprised to know that even your mentor still gets mentored by yet another mentor; no one stops learning.

Humans thrive well when praised or get good feedback. Training from a mentor brings about improvements that will make you better at what you do, and commendation will follow. The praises you receive will no doubt push you to perform better going forward.

Become a Mentor

Success is also about helping others grow. In the business world, employees retire and new ones come in. By learning from a mentor, you will be better equipped to serve as a mentor to another person. Helping such ones achieve success as well.
