Developmental Mentoring Archives

Developmental MentoringDevelopmental mentoring is concerned with co-learning and helping someone make better decisions and grow in wisdom, as a result of deeper self-awareness. Instead of having a protégé, as is the case in Sponsorship Mentoring, this kind of mentoring uses the term mentee, to place less emphasis on any difference in power.

Lis Merrick defined Developmental Mentoring in 2005 as:

The role of the mentor is one of support to the mentee. The mentor will listen and give advice and guidance, when it is appropriate. Mentoring focuses on developing capability by working with the mentee’s goals to help them realise their potential. The mentee is responsible for their learning and development and setting the direction and goals for the relationship. The flow of learning is two-way in a mentoring relationship and the mentor often gains as much as the mentee. (Merrick, 2005)
