Have a Meaningful Wesak
Who should we mentor
Mentoring is not for everyone.
Mentoring focuses on nurturing high-potential individuals, creating an environment where top performers can excel. It prioritizes the development and growth of our most promising talents. As such, we must learn to differentiate between diamonds and glass if we want to ensure success.
Here are 5 criteria in choosing a potential mentee.
Firstly, the talent must be career-oriented, not job-oriented (the typical 9-to-5 type). These individuals are willing to go the extra mile and take mentoring seriously. They are prepared to work after office hours and on weekends.
Secondly,
talents who are ambitious and eager to learn. They are willing to take on
responsibilities beyond their job scope and possess a strong sense of
ownership. Their energy, gifts, and time can be effectively channelled toward
learning new skills, gaining experiences, taking on new tasks, and expanding
their network.
Thirdly,
minority groups — talents who are less likely to secure a mentor compared to
others. These include individuals who may be overlooked due to gender, social
class, ethnicity, or cultural background. A neglected talent is a wasted gift.
Fourthly, challenging people with potential. These individuals are often independent, strong-willed, and difficult to manage. However, with the right mentoring, their energy can be focused and refined. They are like wild stallions — full of raw power, spirit, and potential but untamed. Left alone, they may never reach their full capacity.
Lastly, and most importantly, talents who can support and align with the company’s goals, needs, and strategic plans. When mentored effectively, they will directly contribute to the company’s success.
Let us add value,
Have a meaningful Wesak.
