Addressing Common Mentoring Challenges

How to Overcome Mentoring Challenges provides an overview of five of the most common obstacles that mentors and mentees face. For mentees, the benefits include receiving advice, guidance, and encouragement from someone more experienced or skilled. Mentors, on the other hand, have the opportunity to flex their leadership skills, develop interpersonal savvy, and gain personal satisfaction from guiding a protégé. However, like any relationship, mentoring can quickly become complicated if not handled with care. Challenges such as poor communication, unmet needs or expectations, neglect, and incompatibility can threaten the success of a burgeoning mentoring relationship.
