Mentoring is widely recognized as a valuable tool for enhancing performance in both educational and workplace settings. It has been linked to improved self-regulation, teaching practices, academic success, and career development. Mentoring can significantly impact various performance indicators, making it a critical component of professional growth and development strategies.
Organizations are such integral parts of the human experience that the concept of a “group” seems inseparable from the concept of being “human” overall. For as long as people have had to come together to attain a shared goal, so too have organizations existed to connect separate individuals and unite them with a common thread. It’s no surprise that some of the greatest minds in the world have devoted time to studying how groups of people affect what’s both within and around them.
