Roundtable Chats: Mentorship Models That Work (w/ Monograph's Growth Team)

<p>Mentorship can take on many different forms. For a small office, it may work more like osmosis, with people working closely together and absorbing the knowledge of those around them. For a large office, it might need to be more structured where one person is in charge of guiding the career growth of their mentee through one-on-one meetings and lessons. Mentorship can encompass various things as well, like coaching, sponsorship, tutoring, or apprenticeship. With so many firms remaining fully remote, we need to adapt those approaches to the new way of doing practice. In this Roundtable, we discuss how to create those relationships without having to be face to face.</p><p><strong>Interview Takeaways</strong></p><ul> <li>Mentor through osmosis</li> <li>Create a more structured mentorship</li> <li>Change mentorship to sponsorship</li> <li>Use Slack as a way to cheer on others</li> <li>Connect people across departments</li> <li>Create peer connections</li> <li>Put questions into the public record</li> <li>Make mentorship bi-directional</li> <li>Encourage action</li> <li>Don’t wait for a relationship to mentor</li> <li>Include new people for fresh perspectives</li> <li>Use theme nights to group mentor</li> </ul><p><strong>Show Links</strong></p><ul> <li>Connect with George Valdes on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgevaldes/">LinkedIn</a> or <a href="https://twitter.com/georgevaldes?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">Twitter</a> </li> <li>Connect with Chris Morgan on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-morgan-488a54193/">LinkedIn</a> </li> <li>Connect with Silvia Lee on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/silviaxlee/">LinkedIn</a> </li> <li>Check out <a href="https://monograph.io/">Monograph</a> </li> <li>Follow Monograph on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/monograph/">LinkedIn</a> or<a href="https://www.instagram.com/monographhq/"> Instagram</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://monograph.io/blog">Listen and read more</a> about Monograph </li> </ul>
