Mentoring Programs for Management Development Managing employees successfully can be a daunting challenge. Having a degree or taking formal courses is good preparation for assuming a management role, but it’s not enough.   Where does a new manager go to gain from the experience and wisdom of a more seasoned manager and balance that formal book knowledge with experiential knowledge?  Yes, new managers can always turn to their supervisors, but there is an inherent hesitation to do this because the new manager doesn’t want to appear “incompetent” or “weak.”  Mentoring is a strategic initiative that pairs less seasoned managers with those who can provide not only the experiential wisdom they have, but also a supportive environment whereby the less seasoned manager can share the real issues impacting success.   Why not enhance your existing management development program with an initiative in mentoring that can dramatically enhance your managers’ effectiveness and positively impact everyone they manage? The benefits of using  mentoring in career development are many. Call us at 617-789-4622 or e-mail us today to see how mentoring can help your managers manage.
