Download or read book The Science of Effective Mentorship in STEMM written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-01-24 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mentorship is a catalyst capable of unleashing one's potential for discovery, curiosity, and participation in STEMM and subsequently improving the training environment in which that STEMM potential is fostered. Mentoring relationships provide developmental spaces in which students' STEMM skills are honed and pathways into STEMM fields can be discovered. Because mentorship can be so influential in shaping the future STEMM workforce, its occurrence should not be left to chance or idiosyncratic implementation. There is a gap between what we know about effective mentoring and how it is practiced in higher education. The Science of Effective Mentorship in STEMM studies mentoring programs and practices at the undergraduate and graduate levels. It explores the importance of mentorship, the science of mentoring relationships, mentorship of underrepresented students in STEMM, mentorship structures and behaviors, and institutional cultures that support mentorship. This report and its complementary interactive guide present insights on effective programs and practices that can be adopted and adapted by institutions, departments, and individual faculty members.
Download or read book The Situational Mentor written by Gill Lane and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-02-24 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because the mentoring process involves a number of distinct stages, a wide range of skills are needed throughout the process and these skills are situational. In other words, a skilled mentor understands the principles of mentoring, but is also able to use appropriate skills according to the person with whom they are working and the stage they have reached in the relationship. In addition, different types of mentoring programme will demand a skills set particular to each. As with many other areas of development, a mix of the theoretical and the practical is needed to ensure that programmes and relationships achieve their potential. In The Situational Mentor: An International Review of Competences and Capabilities in Mentoring, David Clutterbuck and Gill Lane have brought together contributions from leading international academics and practitioners to define the key skills involved in mentoring and explore how these may be tailored to ensure a successful outcome in all instances.

Download or read book The Mentor Connection written by Michael G. Zey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-09 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past several years the concept of the mentor has become a part of the common parlance. There is a widespread interest in the pivotal role of mentoring for the success of individuals. Research has made it plain that mentors play a major role in career development. Now human resources and organizational development groups have come to appreciate the role of mentoring on the donor as well as recipient, for the career of the helper no less than the person(s) being helped. Michael Zey, in this study based upon interviews with over 150 executives in Fortune 500 companies and smaller firms, provides a major exploration of the sociological dynamics of the mentoring relationships, locating this phenomenon in the fields of career growth, job satisfaction, and social mobility. In doing so, Zey offers a framework for the understanding of corporate culture, an approach that raises this volume far beyond the usual self-help literature found in this field.

Download or read book Responsive Mentoring written by Parth Sarathi and published by BFC Publications. This book was released on 2023-12-08 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mentoring plays a very effective role in the current environment, which is described as VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous). In order to cope with this environment, organizations have to be responsive, and for this, people in the organization have to be responsive. A responsive person quickly reacts to people or events and shows emotions such as pleasure and affection spontaneously while working with or for people. A responsive leader is driven to understand people and enhance their readiness to appropriately react or respond. Such leaders, equipped with the necessary competencies, can mentor others to transform them to become responsive. Therefore, such leaders and mentors can trigger a multiplying effect in the organization to create many more mentors like them. Mentoring gives one the opportunity to use one’s valuable possessions (knowledge, skills, attitudes, values, and other attributes) respectfully in developing others. Nothing gives such a strong boost to one’s self-esteem and experience of self-actualization, as seeing the achievements of those, in whose development, he/she has invested. Responsive mentors put others first and care about their needs. This builds goodwill, strengthens relationships, and cultivates trust and mutual concern. Mentoring cannot be understood and practiced in isolation, it is very closely related to a few other interventions like Coaching, Feedback, Counseling, and Pygmalion. A number of appropriate behavioral skills help mentoring unleash its tremendous potential. This book, conceived after over 50 years of managerial experience in diverse fields, especially in developing people and organizations, is a valuable resource for being an exemplary mentor and also encouraging and developing others to become responsive and also become mentors. The process has been so vividly described that any organization can initiate mentoring smoothly. Written in simple language, with a formidable blend of theory and practice on one hand and content and process on the other, this book will be highly beneficial to mentors, mentees, line managers, HR/HRD professionals, management faculty, teachers, and trainers.
