One-on-One Mentoring?

Team With One Responsible Mentor?
|
Team Mentoring?
|
- The ìClassicî expected way
- Limits support to the strengths of one mentor
- Requires training to assure development of the ìidealîmentor who can do it all
- May not address all of the protegeís needs
|
- The best of both models
- Provides strengths of a diverse team
- Provides clear responsibility for ensuring the protegeís needs are addressed
and met
- Requires training for the mentor who is ìresponsibleî
- Models collaborative team norms
|
- Provides strengths of a diverse team to help
- Models the desired team collaboration
- May allow protege to ìfall through the cracksî since no one person is responsible
to check if the protege's needs are met
