Effective mentoring to include “the ability and willingness on part of the mentor to
•value the mentee as a person;
•develop mutual trust and respect;
•maintain confidentiality;

•listen both to what is being said and how it is being said;
•help the mentee solve his or her own problem, rather than give direction;
•Focus on the mentee’s development and resist the urge to produce a clone.”
