The rationale of this handbook is to provide a "map" to guide you on the road to
successful mentoring--a road that is becoming far more traveled.
This handbook will guide you through the mentoring process--what it means to be
a mentor, the roles and responsibilities during your guidance, and the different
styles that you can adopt to meet the unique demands of a mentoring relationship.
Finally, this handbook outlines the positive effects of traveling this road--effects
that are shared by the mentor, the mentee, and the organization.

Mentor Guidelines:
1. At the end of each of the meetings, the Mentor and Mentee will complete together and
sign a Mentoring Session Record Sheet (supplied by the Mentor) giving outline details of
the session and this will be returned to the Project Administrator. One or both may want
to fill in a reflective practice sheet.
2. At the conclusion of each meeting, the Mentee and Mentor will review their position and
decide whether to arrange further meetings.
3. All information supplied to the mentoring administrator is confidential and will be available
only to the Mentoring Team. Mentors are accountable in terms of their standards,
ongoing education, development and commitment as a Mentor to the Deanery.
Mentors must work within the current agreement with the mentee about confidentially that is
appropriate within context.
Mentors must be aware of any current law and work within the law.
Mentor and mentee must be aware that computer-based records are subject to statutory
regulation under the data protection act 1984
Mentors need to be aware of the limits of their own competence in the practice of mentoring.
The mentor will not intrude into areas the mentee wishes to keep private until invited to do so.
However they should help the mentee to recognize how other issues may relate to these areas.
Mentors and mentees should aim to be open and truthful with each other and themselves about
the relationship itself.
Mentors and mentees share the responsibility for the smooth winding down of the relationship
when it has achieved its purpose – they must avoid creating dependency.
The mentoring relationship must not be exploitative in any way; neither may it be open to
misinterpretation.
Mentor shouldn’t provide:
Sponsorship - Someone to put the mentee forward for plum assignments, take the mentee’s part
in discussions about the mentee’s career.
Protection – shielding the mentee from learning from the mentee’s mistakes, intervening in the
relationship between the mentee and the mentee’s boss or other authority figure.
The mentee may find mentoring particularly helpful if the mentee are at a crossroads in the
mentee career or have suffered a setback in the mentee ambitions and are having to consider new
options for the future. Or the mentee may simply want to explore ways of further fulfilling the
mentee potential
Mentee will get the most out of the mentoring relationship if:
Know what you want to achieve through the relationship. ( what personal transitions do
you want to make?
Demonstrate enthusiasm and interest.
Respect the mentor for his or her experience and who they are, but not uncritically.
Listen carefully; take notes, as appropriate.
Demonstrate integrity and openness; be honest with yourself as well as with your mentor.
Possible Problem faced by mentee:
Possible Solutions:
1. Mentee should provide relevant information to mentor before discussion that this is
requiring to discuss during meeting.
2. Effective Mentors rarely talk during meetings or discussion, make sure speeches relevant
to your needs or probably be better of finding another mentor.
3. Mentee must show the effectiveness and need of meetings to mentor that how important
meetings are for mentee and mentor relation. Follow-up with mentor before meeting.
4. Personalities clashed between mentor and mentee can be reduced by recognising the
value of very different perspective, try to work together to resolve it.
5. Remind him or her that it is your goals the two of you should be working with. But be
open to the possibility that the mentor may be right in encouraging you to aspire to
greater things.
