Mentoring--what it is and how to make it work.
Mentors are people who help those less experienced in their field learn about the field and advance their careers. Mentors not only help mentees learn, they also learn from the mentor-mentee relationship. To be effective, mentors should possess patience, enthusiasm, knowledge, a sense of humor, and respect. They also should advocate for mentees and get to know them, thus allowing mentees to succeed and the mentor-learner relationship to grow.
