Mentoring
I was talking today with an organization that has mentoring as a very core feature of their culture, and it got me reflecting on the fantastic luck I’ve had in my career. Jim Schuyler brought me back to the US, where he again mentored me on team leadership. There certainly is an art to mentoring, though it can be developed, and I reckon there’re also some skills to being a good mentee. I think increasingly we can and should be continually mentoring those we care about, and mutually mentoring each other. Here’s to learning! meta-learning

Mentoring vs. Training — Why Social Networking Isn’t Enough
But here’s the thing: Mentoring and training are not the same thing. This is individual mentoring. This is group mentoring. So the best way to prepare this committee is to provide an asynchronous tutorial that gets everyone on the same page followed by individual and/or group mentoring to answer questions that the volunteers might still have. There is no mistaking it: online social networking sites (whether they are interal or public) provide for excellent mentoring. But mentoring is not the same as training, and shouldn’t be substituted for it.

Mentoring Results
However, this isn’t new for mentors as well: they want their charges to do well, but the most they can do is influence the performer to the best of their ability.

What is the definition of adult digital literacy?
Right now, I spend a lot of time in my job mentoring folks in how to effectively use digital media. Right now I’m mentoring several senior managers, which when I think about it is weird. The one-on-one mentoring is very effective, but it is also very time-consuming.

Thinking of Setting Up an Advisory Panel?
Some look for advisors for pure "gyan" and mentoring support during their maiden entrepreneurship venture. The agenda for most are either or all of these: a) Provide valuable gyan or mentoring support b) Be the company's brand ambassador/mouthpiece c) Help get business contacts. The point that came out very clearly is that mentors/advisors are not interested in 'your' money. You can also read through some discussions about how much equity to hand out to advisor or mentor.
