Executive Mentoring Management Mentors has developed a proprietary executive mentoring program designed to cultivate knowledge in the next generation of executives and professionals. Executive mentoring should be a key component of your company’s succession plan. It can also make the senior management team more effective today by creating an environment in which they work together to develop tomorrow’s leaders. Executive mentoring prepares mid-level managers and executives to move successfully into senior-level positions. Executive mentors focus on: The company’s evolution Efforts to enhance profitability throughout the enterprise Development of strategies for gaining or retaining competitive advantage within their market space While mid-level professionals contribute to all of these goals, they rarely possess the perspective to develop the high-level planning that will drive the company to attain them. A formal, well-developed executive mentoring program provides mid-level executives with insights into: Strategic planning Bringing the big picture into focus Preparing themselves for challenges of ever increasing  magnitude Executive mentoring creates a ripple effect, as executives apply what they have learned from mentoring to their staff’s development. Mentoring filters through the organization and a mentoring culture evolves. In a mentoring culture, knowledge is shared and leadership skills are learned, so that there is no “brain drain” when the organization’s leadership retires. By making key executives accessible and open to feedback, executive mentoring creates opportunities for honest conversation and enhances senior staff’s understanding of their chief executive.
