The Career Compass: Mentoring to Point You Toward Maximum Professional and Personal Growth

What difference does a mentor make?
Studies have clearly shown the value of a mentor. With the help of a seasoned guide, mentees can enhance their reputation, their resume and their career roadmap.
What you may not have heard is the benefit mentors receive from advising and counsleing more junior colleagues. In addition to the personal satisfaction that comes from helping others, becoming a mentor can qualify you for more senior assignments, demonstrate your management capabilities and put you in touch with a segment of your employees you may not have understood before. Mentors often find their own careers enhanced from mentoring.
