Wake Forest offers
tips for mentoring
SPECIAL TO
THE CHRONICLE
January is National
Mentoring Month. Wake
Forest University asks: Do
you have time to mentor?
Effective mentoring
requires investing in anoth
er person's growth and
development. It is an inten
tional commitment.
"Mentors share institu
tional knowledge, develop
future leaders, and empow
er staff for success," says
Allison Mc Williams, direc
tor of Wake Forest
University's Mentoring
Resource Center.
"Managers who choose not
to mentor their people find
their people choose to go
elsewhere."
For those interested in
mentoring, Mc Williams
offers tips for building effi
cient and effective relation
ships.
1. Set goals for the rela
tionship and create a learn
ing plan. Effective mentor
\
ing requires mutual
accountability: both part
ners should keep their com
mitments to each other,
check-in with each other on
a regular basis, and hold
each other accountable for
doing what they say they
will do.
2. Be willing to share
stories and trust that the
other person will keep con
fidences.
3. Meet face-to-face.
There is no substitute for
in-person mentoring.
Computers can connect
people around the world.
Yet, sophisticated technol
ogy cannot replicate effec
tive one-on-one relation
ships. Our high-tech cul
ture makes in-person men
toring invaluable in devel
oping interpersonal skills
such as being present to
one another, asking good
questions, practicing active
listening, and seeking out
and responding to feed
back.
4. Care about the per
son you are mentoring.
Focusing on a mentee's
goals and providing objec
tive feedback and guidance
is essential. A mentor can
damage another person by
using this powerful rela
tionship to influence anoth
er's personal or career
choices. Those who do not
have any time to invest
should not take part in the
relationship.
Wake Forest was one of
the first higher education
institutions in the nation to
adopt a campus-wide men
toring model.
