The Skill Of Mentoring

Mentoring is one of the rising stars in the field of L&D. Done properly, Mentoring is a powerful approach to managing talented individuals, building strong careers and developing a pool of talent linked to succession planning and organisational sustainability.

Mentoring is shrouded with misunderstanding and is often carried out incorrectly, which can at best be a pointless waste of time, at worst, disastrous!
