The Power of Mentorship
Mentorship can provide grooming that leads to professional development and the gaining of critical knowledge. During my research on mentorship, a participant stated, "My mentor saw something in me and gave me opportunities to continue to grow." The participant would find success and become hired as one of the first Black women in college athletics.
As a leader, examine your own organization. Who are you mentoring? There is someone in your organization in dire need of mentoring that could lead to an expansion of other opportunities. Mentoring is available to all leaders who make the competitive decision to step into advancing people. If leaders fail to address the need for mentorship, the more costly failures of advancing others in society will take a toll. Coincidentally, their organizations become stagnant, and the growth of people halts, which will be detrimental to the people and the organization.
