Aegis Learning facilitator Matt Zobrist continues his series on mentoring.
The most common obstacle to mentoring is a perceived lack of time. Prioritizing the mentoring process and remembering the long-term value is important to overcome this challenge.
Unrealistic expectations for both behavioral change and timeline can also be common challenges.
Working in partnership between the mentor and mentee will ensure that obstacles and challenges are easily overcome.
Successful mentoring requires an incremental view of growth and not a giant, singular leap forward.
