Dr. Peter F. Drucker’s Nine Functions of a Mentor
Infographic published by Neil Beyersdorf neil-beyersdorf.branded.me/
1. “Define the landscape.” Focus on details to get things done – see the landscape to plot a course. Mentors are fresh eyes.
2. “Expose ‘white space’ – define opportunities – what is needed now.” Passion disconnected from meeting needs is wasted. Sincerity is not enough.
3. “Clarify strengths and capacities.” Tapping untapped strengths represents new directions, deeper fulfillment, and greater fruitfulness.
4. “Identify incorrect assumptions.” Listen for limiting beliefs. 5. “Encouragement to ‘go for it’.” Great mentors inspire action. Dreaming big is only a beginning. Dreams
without action drain vitality and affirm helplessness. 6. “Help sort out the right strategies.” Mentors bring strategic thinking to your personal strengths and individual
passions. 7. “Affirm results.” Success creates focus, fuels motivation, and confirms direction. 8. “Point out wasted effort.” Stopping is harder than starting. One the most challenging lessons in leadership is
learning that trying harder doesn’t work, if you’re stuck. Mentors point out spinning wheels and flying mud. 9. Establish “gentle accountability.” Accountability in mentoring relationships is an agreement. It’s not imposed
by dictatorial mentors.
