LOOK FOR THE RIGHT MENTOR

Look for someone who

really cares about you,

who wants you to

succeed and achieve

your goals. You should

trust and respect each

other.

SET CLEAR OBJECTIVES

Decide exactly what

you need mentoring on

before looking for a

mentor. What’s your

objective and what

does success look like

in the end?

BE OPEN-MINDED AND SELF-CRITICAL

During the mentoring

process you will need to be

willing to receive input and

feedback, to question and

get to know yourself, be

aware of others and to

develop personally.

TAKE OVER RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOURSELF

Even though a mentor

can help you to

understand an issue and

give advice, it is up to

you to work (hard) and

implement what you

agreed upon.

FOLLOWTHROUGH

contact with your

mentor during and

after your meetings.

Send regular

updates to keep the

and supportive.

BENEFITS FOR MENTORS

Why should you

engage in mentoring

and what’s in it for

you as a mentor?

DEVELOP YOUR MINDFULNESS

Mentoring helps you

become more aware

of your thoughts,

feelings and

surroundings. It

involves accepting

that there’s no “right”

or “wrong” way to

think or feel.

IMPROVE YOUR LEADERSHIP SKILLS

By helping your

mentee, you can

review your own

areas for

improvement and it

can help you

discover new areas

and behaviors.

SEE WITH FRESH EYES

Mentoring helps you

see things with a set

of fresh eyes. You’ll

discover how your

peers approach an

issue, how they solve

it and understand

their reasoning

RECHARGE YOUR BATTERIES

Many mentors get

personal fulfillment

and joy from

mentoring. If you’re

burned out, losing

focus and drive,

mentoring can give

you strength and

energy.

PROCESS

How to

process in your

organization

Page 19: Great Leaders Need Great Mentors

ESTABLISH AN EFFECTIVE MATCHING PROCESS

Mentoring needs to be

centered around the

mentee's development

needs. A transparent

and open process is

required for any

method used.

AGREE ON GUIDING PRINCIPLES

In the beginning of a

mentorship, some

aspects must be

defined like goals,

meeting frequency,

confidentiality and

follow-up work

between sessions.

© Andreas von der Heydt – Great Leaders need Great Mentors

Page 21: Great Leaders Need Great Mentors

PROVIDE SUPPORT

You need to clearly state

what mentoring means

for you and what are the

roles of the people

involved. Participants

should understand the

process, purpose and

tools of the process.

Page 22: Great Leaders Need Great Mentors

Additional skills training -

even for experienced

managers - provided by

the company for aspiring

mentors have proven to be

very helpful.

© Andreas von der Heydt – Great Leaders need Great Mentors

Page 23: Great Leaders Need Great Mentors

HAVE FOLLOW-UP STEPS IN PLACE

Depending on whether

the mentee achieved

his goals or not, the

relationship can be

extended beyond

mentorship, continued

or closed in a friendly

manner if it’s not

working out.

© Andreas von der Heydt – Great Leaders need Great Mentors

Page 24: Great Leaders Need Great Mentors

It is important that both

mentor and mentee know

that they can choose not to

continue without damaging

their relationship.

EVALUATE THE MENTORING PROGRAM

The program has to be

reviewed to see if individual
