WHAT MAKES A GOOD MENTOR
Before becoming a mentor, here are a few things to understand about the role of mentorship. Most of us have had a teacher, supervisor, or coach who has been a type of mentor to us and made a positive impact in our lives. Those people wore many hats, acting as delegators, role models, supporters, advocates, and friends. Mentors assume these different roles during the course of a relationship, and share some basic qualities:
