AB  - Practitioners and researchers agree on the importance of mentors,
even though the spontaneous creation of mentors and
protégés is little understood. The
mentor‐protégé creation process is addressed, and
the individual and organisational benefits, and the role of
protégés in the relationship, are discussed. Also
discussed is the need for mentoring and mentors, explaining how
informal, even chance encounters, can grow into strong relationships
that benefit both parties and their organisation. Special emphasis is
given to the protégé′s role and likely road‐blocks
to the formation of these important relationships.
