This approach often involves mentoring being viewed as similar to coaching or teaching, or as a type of \u2018godfather\u2019 relationship.<\/p>\n<p>In other cultures, this is seen as incompatible with the fundamental openness of the relationship. Relationships are \u2018off-line\u2019 and mentoring is seen as primarily a developmental activity, with the emphasis on empowering and enabling the mentee to do things for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>These different perspectives represent two competing models of mentoring which are further explored in the Mentoring Mastery module \u2014 <a href=\"\/articles\/mentoring-mastery-1-models-and-dynamics-of-mentoring\/\">Models and Dynamics of Mentoring<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a id=\"infographic\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coachmentoring.co.uk\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Infographic-\u2014-The-roles-of-a-mentor.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1290 size-large\" title=\"Download the Infographic\" src=\"https:\/\/www.coachmentoring.co.uk\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Infographic-\u2014-The-roles-of-a-mentor-465x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Infographic \u2014\u00a0The roles of a mentor\" width=\"465\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coachmentoring.co.uk\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Infographic-\u2014-The-roles-of-a-mentor-465x1024.jpg 465w, https:\/\/www.coachmentoring.co.uk\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Infographic-\u2014-The-roles-of-a-mentor-136x300.jpg 136w, https:\/\/www.coachmentoring.co.uk\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Infographic-\u2014-The-roles-of-a-mentor-768x1691.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.coachmentoring.co.uk\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Infographic-\u2014-The-roles-of-a-mentor.jpg 1220w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 465px) 100vw, 465px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\" \/>PDF:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.coachmentoring.co.uk\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Infographic-\u2014-The-roles-of-a-mentor.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Infographic \u2014\u00a0The roles of a mentor<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Some of our clients have found our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coachmentoring.co.uk\/products\/coaching-cards.php\">mentoring cards<\/a>\u00a0to be very useful in explaining the roles of a mentor in more detail, or as aids in your own self-reflection exercises.<\/p>\n<p>Here at Coach Mentoring Ltd we love to help mentors get the most from their relationships with mentees, <a href=\"\/about-us\/contact-us.html\">get in touch today<\/a> to find out how we can help you to better help your mentees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The more self-aware a mentor can be about their behaviour and the degree to which they listen to their mentees around what the mentee is looking for from them, the better the relationship can be.
