Chapter 1 – Benefits of a Protégé

It’s a Two-Way Street

Most people understand that having a mentor is beneficial; the advantages are obvious. However, there are quite a few kickbacks mentors receive from participating in the process—some more apparent than others.

What’s behind your desire to become a mentor? Perhaps you work for a company with a mentoring program, and you feel ready to lend your expertise. Or maybe you’ve noticed someone who has that same spark of motivation and drive you possessed when you first entered your career. Whatever your reason, you will find that mentoring gives as much as it takes.

Here are just a few of the benefits you will receive by taking on a protégé.

Sharper skills

As a mentor, you may already be in a management position—and you may not.

Regardless of your current career designation, working with a protégé will help you develop those skills that are essential to leading others, which could in turn lead you to a promotion.

It’s likely that you won’t be in direct charge of your protégé. However, the process of mentoring involves guidance and correction. You will be responsible for overseeing your protégé’s skill development; in essence, “showing the ropes.”

Communication is an essential tool for any business relationship. By working with a protégé, you will find your communication skills developing almost automatically.

Mentoring is a journey of self-discovery as well to help a young person get a great start in the business world.

A fresh outlook

No matter whom you choose to work with, your protégé will have a different perspective on the business. Since protégés are typically entry-level professionals, they will possess new ideas and new ways of thinking that you may not have been aware of before.

Mentors often learn as much from protégés as their charges learn from them. One of the most recent examples of this can be found in the impact the Internet has had on the business world. When companies began to rely on e-mail communication and drift away from phones and fax machines, those who possessed the greatest knowledge of ecommunication were the entry-level staff; the ones who had recently graduated from college or grew up with the Internet. It’s a safe bet that today’s protégés can show their mentors a thing or two about online procedures!

The enthusiasm a protégé brings to the relationship is another factor in offering a fresh outlook. Today’s business is competitive and draining for most people. It is easy to lose your passion for your career after you’ve been at it for years. Working with a protégé allows you to revisit the ideals and visions that brought you to work in your field in the first place.

Free labor

This may seem a little shallow, but protégés can and do perform routine tasks and help with project research and development. This is not taking advantage of your young charge; rather, it is allowing them to be a part of the process from the beginning. It is far more effective to learn a trade through doing rather than watching and assigning small tasks to your protégé helps both of you.

Career development

As you further your protégé’s career, you are advancing your own as well. As mentioned previously, working with a protégé within your company can present the opportunity for promotion. Your supervisors will take note of your progress during the relationship.

You can also apply the skills you develop in grooming your protégé to other areas of your job. This will allow you to implement changes and new projects that will help you stand out and get noticed. Should you decide to change careers or companies, including your mentoring work on your resume can be a huge plus—particularly if your protégé is successful.

Higher self-image

Confidence can get you where you want to go and getting there is a daily process. It’s so much easier when you feel good about yourself, your abilities, and your talents.

–Donald Trump

The way you view yourself reflects in the way others view you. When you work with a protégé, you will build your self-esteem as you realize how much you have to offer a young person in your business. Often, mentors find they had no idea how much they really knew about their industry until they began to teach it to someone else.

This elevated self-image will in turn change the way your colleagues and supervisors view you. Mentors are respected for their dedication and willingness to help others flourish. You will command greater respect and a higher level of prestige when you work with a protégé.

Mentors enjoy a strong sense of confidence in their knowledge and their abilities to lead. Success comes easier when you feel good about what you’re doing.
