A Conceptual Overview of the Science and Art of Mentoring

Ishita Adhikari

Mentoring is a potent organization intervention tool used by human resource professional to help shape career of employees and supports in knowledge transfer. The term mentoring is a buzzword, often discussed by the leadership of the modern management era, especially in context of a dynamic and complex environment. Without an in-depth study of mentoring as a process or technique, the competence of a mentor will be limited to the horizons of his or her own experience. Thus, it is critical to understand mentoring as a structure driven process and as a scientific tool. The article focusses on the softer aspects of mentoring as a process, as well as the science and technique behind.
