Mentors are the responsible leaders in a relationship that should be mutually rewarding. The ultimate goal is to develop a protégé that is more capable, more comfortable, more confident, and better connected within the organization. Like any relationship, mentorships require planning, goal setting, reinforcement, nurturing, and regular review to ensure that both individuals are getting what they need from the partnership. In The Elements of Mentoring, W. Brad Johnson and Charles R. Ridley discuss the components of a successful mentorship, as well as the pitfalls that must be avoided to see it through to a successful end.
