Matters of Professional Growth

Gentlemen, this chapter includes eleven elements oriented to helping your mentee learn the ropes and prepare for advancement in your profession or organization. Think of these as the career functions of excellent mentorship. Outstanding mentors to women do a number of things to push them forward, raise their profile, and help ensure their advancement. For instance, they challenge and inoculate women for the hurdles ahead. They provide valuable insider intelligence and are tireless in making sure they have a place at the table. Powerful mentors open doors, nominate mentees for key roles, share social capital, and become “raving fans” for their mentees around the organization. They are unabashed and assertive about using their own position and influence within the organization to address gender disparities and protect a mentee without overprotecting her. Terrific mentors discern mentees’ unique approach to leadership, then help them refine and sharpen it. Finally, a great mentor is a deliberate architect of his mentee’s network or constellation of career helpers.
