Have you seen a mentoring relationship go wrong? That is because it started off with the wrong idea, wrong expectation and wrong mentor-mentee match. Also, when mentoring lacks standards, ethics and ground-rules it is bound to fail.
Many mentors dread mentoring millennials. They say it is difficult and draining and this has made them give up on the idea. They complain that millennials do not take their lives and career as serious as they should, they play too much, often so unfocused, unserious, entitled, with unrealistic expectation and the list goes on.
Millennials love to explore, can be multi-passionated, full of energy, love being appreciated, want their ideas to be heard and they want to be given a chance to show their value but they also need a sense of belonging and proper guidance that mentoring offers.
Most times, mentorship is discussed from the stand point of the mentee otherwise known as the protege and not from the mentor's view point. Are there ethics and standards to uphold in mentorship? What are the tools, skills and mindset require of a mentor?
This book is a guide for mentors on how to mentor millennials to positively affect their generation and make an impact in the world.
