Mentoring for Leadership Development

If you are a leader, developing new leaders is one of your responsibilities. And one of the best ways to do this is through mentoring: that is, supporting someone and sharing your knowledge and experience with them.

Definition of Mentoring
Professor David Clutterbuck:
'Mentoring is a learning relationship between two people. It requires a range of human qualities such as trust, commitment and emotional engagement. It includes a range of skills including listening, questioning, challenge and support. Mentoring has a time scale. In some contexts it is a life long relationship, in others it may be a few months.'
Types of Mentoring
1. Developmental mentoring
2. Sponsorship mentoring
3. Executive mentoring
4. Reverse mentoring
How to be a Mentor
In 2004, David Clutterbuck coined an acronym for what mentors need to do:
• Manage the relationship
• Encourage
• Nurture
• Teach
• Offer mutual respect
• Respond to the learner’s needs

🗒️ RECOMMENDED EXERCISES
Either (or both):
1. Find an opportunity to offer mentoring to someone who can value the experience and skills you have, in helping them to develop in any aspect of their career. Start simple, and build your mentoring skills. Commit to at least four 1-hour sessions (6 MC CPD Points)
2. Find yourself a mentor. Look for someone who has experience and skills you can learn from, to develop in any aspect of your career. Ask them courteously to share their thoughts - and be prepared to buy them coffees. If the relationship works, aim for at least four 1-hour sessions (6 MC CPD Points)
📚 RECOMMENDED READING
There are a vast number of Leadership books - perhaps more than on any other management-related topic. And there is also a huge range represented in different lists of the best. This no-doubt reflects the different contexts for leadership.
So, any recommended reading list of leadership books must be particularly subjective. I have chosen those that made me think, and which are of particular value to managerial leaders: not sportspeople, military leaders, or CEOs. In no particular order:

New leaders can learn a lot from an experienced mentor - but so too can a mentor learn from their mentoring processes. It's a real win-win for leadership development.

Very clearly stated on Mentoring for Leadership Development - the best was the acronym. Thank you Dr. Mike Clayton :)

[@ManagementCourses]

Thank you!

[@AliAns4ri]

Keeping me interested in a rather boring subject. Thanks, Mr. Clayton :)

[@ManagementCourses]

You're very welcome - I'm glad I help your interest!

Hello once again. This is another solid video. Mentoring can have a rather dark side as well. Andrew Fastow admired Ken Lay, so he wanted to impress him, but when Enron collapsed, some say that Lay sort of denied involvement with Fastow instead. I am currently studying global integration versus local responsiveness in my 601 Fundamentals of Business Analysis course. Does mentoring vary between countries, and does local versus global play a part in mentoring roles? Thank you.

[@ManagementCourses]

I don't know if mentoring varies around the world, but I suspect it does. For example, I would expect that reverse mentoring (of an older, more-experienced person, by a younger colleague) is more common in some countries, and somewhat counter-cultural in others. I am not sure I understand what you mean by 'local versus global' in mentoring roles.

[@urbanlegendsandtrivia2023]

@@ManagementCoursesI should have clarified that statement. You answered it by explaining how cultures vary between countries.
