Mentoring Myths Update
Jack Welch confirms my thoughts on mentoring in his book, “Winning.”
He says,
“But in my experience there is not one right mentor. There are many right mentors.”
“I had dozens of informal mentors over the course of my career, and each one taught me something important. My mentors ranged from the classic older and wiser executive to coworkers who were often younger than I was.”
“Some mentoring relationships lasted a lifetime, others lasted just weeks.”
