If you want to incorporate a mentoring strategy or program in your own or a client's organisation, department, or team, these tips will help ensure its success:

However, the mentoring can also flow in the other direction, since there are many things a seasoned employee can learn from a green one. Regardless of who is the mentor and who is the protégé, both develop important competencies during the relationships, such as organisational information, networking, and political savvy for the protégé, and listening skills, flexibility, and leadership skills for the mentor.
You may ask, "Why non-for-profit leadership?" After all, leadership is leadership, right? The answer is Yes—and No.
