Key
in the mentoring relationship is that both the mentor and mentee
understand that mentoring is voluntary and that the "obligations"
of both are not contractual but based on the desire to help and
receive guidance. In short, the relationship is not binding but
for mutual benefit and improvement. Both should therefore agree
that:
- There
must be an environment free of the fear of disappointment or
punishment
- Goals
and expectations must be mutual but some expectations may go
unfulfilled
- The relationship
must be based on mutual respect, confidentiality, commitment
to the "partnership" and to performance excellence
- It is
the responsibility of the mentee to show initiative, take risks
and assume responsibility
- It is
the responsibility of the mentor to assist, help and support
the mentee
- Both parties
must want the relationship to work, to improve
personally and the organization collectively
- To keep
the relationship on a professional level. Exchange of information
will occur but mentors are there to help a mentee navigate the
nuances of the organizational structure – not to become a personal
confidant.
