As a senior leader, is mentorship missing in your professional development? Are you a mentor now? Do you have mentors yourself?
Mentorship is relevant at each career stage and integral to professional development no matter your level in an organization. If designed with purpose, the mentor and mentee relationship is proven to be mutually beneficial for senior leaders and professionals early in their careers.
I welcome you to read my interview with Lisa Fain as we explore the reasons why we never outgrow the need for mentorship as well as the benefits one experiences mentoring others in later stages of one’s career.
