As a mid-level officer in my organization,the immediate mentor of me is Deputy Director.As a mentor he has the following role to me and also to my colleagues .
Mentors can point out observations on our strengths and weaknesses, helping us to identify, understand and take action on areas that need improvement. They might also be able to suggest ways in which we can improve in a particular area, such as tact, communication skills and emotional intelligence. These "how to" suggestions come from experienced and wise professionals, and incorporating their advice into our daily life could help us reach the next level. Mentors are often in the loop of current or future job openings within my organization. Mentors can save us potentially costly mistakes and pitfalls throughout our career. Avoiding wasted time and effort, as well as elevating our career through confidence insights, is worth the investment of two to three hours a month garnering feedback from a mentor.
