"The mentee was all grown up," Judge Cabranes recalled.
It might even squeeze the mentee along a route that isn't right for them.
I also like the idea that the mentee could teach the mentor".
Many successful mentoring relationships last for years and are invaluable to the mentee.
It takes creativity on the mentor's part and openness from the mentee.
The process ends when the mentee is confident or capable enough to carry on with their duties without oversight.
Hopefully … it means the mentee takes a different path from the one he was on and it makes his life better in the future.
"They look after the wellbeing of the mentee, and we have appraisals to make sure they have the right training to develop a fulfilling career".
There is almost always an assumption that these mentors should elder-statesman-type characters; someone who is older and more worldly wise then the mentee.
The idea is that the more senior mentor passes on knowledge and guidance as the mentee finds their feet in a new role.
At the end of the month, the mentor should discuss the project with the mentee and jot down the mentee's feedback as an evaluation of the project.
