問題詳情
(3) The focus of mentoring is to develop the whole person and so the techniques arebroad and require wisdom in order to be used appropriately. A 1995 study of mentoringtechniques most commonly used in business found that the five most commonly usedtechniques among mentors were:1. Accompanying: making a commitment in a caring way, which involves taking partin the learning process side-by-side with the learner.2. Sowing: mentors are often confronted with the difficulty of preparing the learnerbefore he or she is ready to change. Sowing is necessary when you know that what yousay may not be understood or even acceptable to learners at first but will make senseand have value to the mentee when the situation requires it.3. Catalyzing: when change reaches a critical level of pressure, learning can jump.Here the mentor chooses to plunge the learner right into change, provoking a differentway of thinking, a change in identity or a re-ordering of values.4. Showing: this is making something understandable, or using your own exampleto demonstrate a skill or activity. You show what you are talking about, you show by yourown behavior.5. Harvesting: here the mentor focuses on “picking the ripe fruit”: it is usually usedto create awareness of what was learned by experience and to draw conclusions. Thekey questions here are: “What have you learned?”, “How useful is it?”Different techniques may be used by mentors according to the situation and themindset of the mentee, and the techniques used in modern organizations can be foundin ancient education systems, from the Socratic technique of harvesting to theaccompaniment method of learning used in the apprenticeship of itinerant cathedralbuilders during the Middle Ages. Leadership authors Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner advisementors to look for “teachable moments” in order to “expand or realize thepotentialities of the people in the organizations they lead” and underline that personalcredibility is as essential to quality mentoring as skill.
