Mentoring is a process for the informal transmission of knowledge, social capital, and the psychosocial support perceived by the recipient as relevant to work, career, or professional development; mentoring entails informal communication, usually face-to-face and during a sustained period of time, between a person who is perceived to have greater relevant knowledge, wisdom, or experience (the mentor) and a person who is perceived to have less (the protégé)”.
Mentoring has existed in every culture. Since the 1970s it has spread in North America mainly in training contexts and it has been described as “an innovation in management”.
Self-help has also been described as “old technology” because of the time and effort it takes to research and integrate techniques on one’s own. Today, motivated individuals recognize that it makes more sense to tap into experience when you need it!
