ETHICAL VALUES : MENTORING
Mentoring is the act of providing resources to encourage healthy and proper growth.
Mentoring can involve relationships ranging from a casual offer of advice up to an apprentice
relationship. Mentoring implicitly involves participation of both the mentor and the mentee.
Both should have realistic and well understood goals for timing and product of the
relationship. The ethics of one-on-one mentoring involves how the mentoring expectations

Mentoring has received considerable coverage in recent decades and this is evident by the
proliferation of research and popular literature available to the reader. It has been hailed as an
important human resource management strategy, a career tool, and a workplace learning
activity for men, women and minority groups in a variety of organisational settings such as
hospitals, large corporations, schools, universities and government departments. In this paper
we review the literature on this ubiquitous yet elusive concept. We begin by exploring what

human resource managers must be aware that mentoring is not an organisational panacea.
There are concerns regarding the outcomes of mentoring, but it is our opinion that these can
be minimised by careful implementation planning. Mentoring is a complex and sensitive
organisational process and there is little doubt it can be a destructive force for organisations,
the mentors and the mentees. The simple implication of this paper is that organisations should
view mentoring as a potentially beneficial process that requires careful long term planning
and skilful human resource leadership. It is important to stress that there are many models of
mentoring and that implementing a professional or formal mentoring program does not imply
that procedures such as informal mentoring or peer mentoring should not be included in an
overall human resources policy. Carden (1990) sees mentoring as one of a variety of
(Barnes. 2015). Nurse practitioners who received a formal orientation had a quick, easy and better transition experiences, with the satisfaction of their role. The foundation of the novice NP when starting the transition is imperative. Therefore, mentoring programs is also a method that can decrease social isolation, and feelings of inadequacy for the new NP’s.
The term "glass ceiling" is generally used to refer to instances where women and minorities have progressed within an organization, but despite their ambitions and qualifications, find it difficult to make the movement into key higher level management positions, or management positions at all. The social disadvantage these glass ceilings is the inability of the most qualified employees to move into the most important positions due to irrelevant criteria such as race or gender (U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, 2006). Mentoring. A process whereby knowledgeable individuals counsel, guide, and assist individuals of lessor experience and or proficiency (Dunbar & Kinnersley,

"Kellin, you have to understand that these tutoring sessions are important. I understand that you don 't want to spend your time here with me getting tutored, but you have to. Unless you don 't want to graduate, which I 'm sure you want to do. You 're not the only one that has something to lose with these classes, so could you please take them seriously?" Vic asked, scolding me the next day.
Cross-gender reciprocal mentorships are essentially partnerships in which men and women play complementary roles leading to career and personal development for both parties, and ultimately, greater gender equality in the workplace. Technically, this type of mentorship underlines the importance of sharing power, instead of concentrating in the hands of the mentors, as well as the elimination of hierarchy. Reciprocal mentorships have unique elements for both parties. For instance, it emphasizes mutual listening and affirmation, which means both members learn and grow from the relationship, instead of the mentee alone. This obviously requires, that the mentor (in this case men) to have an open mind, maintain a learning orientation, and also recognize that expertise may shift depending on the phase of the mentorship.

But it cannot be denied that it is indeed happening but informally. Lack of documentation and research in this area is we need to make a note.. Globally international professional social work bodies such as National Association of Social workers - USA, British Association for Social Workers, Australian Association of Social Workers etc. have put their organized and well planned Mentoring program in place. But we do not find any such endeavor in our Indian Association for Professional Social workers.

They can encourage mentees to consider multiple perspectives, challenge assumptions, and explore alternative solutions. By fostering cognitive flexibility, mentors enable mentees to approach challenges with an open mind, adapt to new situations, and think creatively. This enhances their problem-solving abilities and overall success in
Mentoring is not an easy job and also requires one to make hard decisions every once in a while. Having a strong bond with your mentee means that one should be able to speak the truth with them although that truth may hurt one or both of the people. As a mentor,
It is important for an administrator to a good mentor and not just a manager. A good mentor is one who helps others grow and excel in what they do. It is essential that as a mentor you give positive feedback and support and understanding.

Of all the traditional and contemporary approaches to leadership that have been introduced this week, I think coaching and mentoring are the most relevant. Coaching allows one to grow by empowering his decision-making and mentoring gives personal accounts of successes and failures. Although Jesus never failed at anything, He gave us great examples of both mentoring and coaching the disciples. Jesus pointed out the disciple’s failures in love, but was always there to encourage and build character.

Premkumar, 2007) 2.1 Mentoring in an organizational context .
