Mentoring involves guidance from a more experienced person to help a less experienced person take action. Successful mentors are supportive, patient, and respected, taking on roles as teachers, coaches, advisors, and motivators. Effective mentoring relationships are built on trust, self-esteem, partnership, time, and respect between a mentor who is people-oriented and a mentee who is eager to learn and work as a team player. Mentoring can be traditional, planned, or self-mentored and progresses through prescriptive, persuasive, collaborative and confirmative stages.
