What Makes a Mentor?

There's no single model, but experts say most successful mentors:

  • Believe in the mentoring process--often as former protégés themselves
  • Commit to spending the time necessary to do the job well
  • Love teaching
  • Enjoy developing processes and road maps
  • View mentoring as a partnership (rather than one-way instruction)
  • Appear confident and professional--but also open and approachable
  • Exhibit genuine interest in their protégés' careers
  • Communicate clearly
  • Listen well
  • Take a positive, creative approach to problem-solving
  • Provide constructive, nonjudgmental feedback
  • Wish to “give something back” to their organizations or professions
  • Track their protégés progress even after formal mentoring ends

Above all, says Amy Langer, CPA and Salo LLC founding partner, a mentor is “someone you'd want to follow. A leader.”
