Mentoring Female Executives
Abstract
Mentoring is an important process in executive development, which facilitates more rapid career progress. Nearly two‐thirds of executives have had a mentor at some stage. Women are more often excluded from mentoring relationships. Describes the mentoring of female executives and discusses the associated issues: whether the gender of the mentor matters to the success of the mentoring process; whether having a mentor is necessary for the success of female managers; and the drawbacks/ barriers to mentoring.
