Mentorship models create multiple paths to employee success by fostering deeper, more enduring relationships than can be achieved in large classrooms or brief training sessions. Unlike the narrower, shorter-term interactions with an instructor, mentors often develop relationships with their protégés that can span years, covering a wide range of skills and even different organizational contexts, thereby truly enabling diverse avenues for growth.
In life science organizations, successful implementation of the concept that mentorship models create multiple paths to employee success is often seen through the application of generally three common mentorship models. The flexibility to apply these models, sometimes sequentially or by pivoting between them, allows organizations to more effectively and directly address the specific needs of both the mentor and the protégé, tailoring the path to success.
Embracing the role of a student within these mentorship models is an act of strength and courage, not indicative of weakness or failure. Even when exploring familiar topics or practices, enthusiastic engagement within these structured mentorship models create multiple paths to employee success by rewarding learners with fresh insights, opportunities for innovative applications, and the potential for new discoveries through hands-on experience and guidance.
