Mentoring
Successful managers are strong mentors to their staff members. This is done by:
- Being a positive role model and identifying other managers that can do the same.
- Supporting your staff in calculated risk-taking that is essential for their growth.
- Working with your staff individually to understand and help them develop their unique skills.
- Supporting continuing education efforts that are available through professional organizations.
Your involvement in mentoring will make it possible for your staff to develop to their fullest potential which will make them of greater benefit to your department.
