Why Mentoring is Important.
Recent management surveys in the UK have unfortunately suggested that what cause deep stress to individuals are not only remote decision making by senior managers, but constant delays in taking decisions. Can it be that there is a real lack of confidence or even competence in the management ranks? In any event, how can we help to change this type of mindset?Possibly one of the things that might help to improve the process and quality of decision making would be regular opportunities to step outside of the frame and look at the main issues facing us as individual managers in organisations. Mentoring, if properly thought out, is not the only answer to this, but it can help to underpin change in this context. Many managers testify that having a mentor has helped them to take a realistic view of their contribution at work and their place in the organisation.
