The Mentor Mystique: “Everybody Who Makes It Has a Mentor or Mentors”
Abstract
Mentoring has become a very popular concept ‐ too popular, according to some studies (1,2,3), the idea is simple: an older, more experienced individual helps or shepherds a younger person grow and advance in the formative years of the individual's career by providing advice, support, and encouragement. Good teachers, coaches, parents, and bosses all take on some mentoring functions, and in the past one or two decades formal mentoring programmes have been set up in the business environments.
