The most common reason mentorship partnerships fail is because the relationship is NOT mentee-driven. When the expectation or assumption is that the mentor is the one managing the relationship, the mentoring partnership is already in danger.

Many attempts to start mentoring relationships fail repeatedly, both for individuals and companies, and we know why.

Do you think you are ready for a mentor, yet feel a little overwhelmed or intimidated about finding one? Have you tried establishing mentoring relationships before that have gone nowhere? 

Companies know that mentorship works, and companies know that their people are looking for mentoring. Yet organizations of all sizes fail time and time again to create successful, strategic mentoring programs, and we know why.
