A mentor can help with a wide range of issues to address the challenges you are facing. For example the mentees may want to improve their skills in a particular area or they may need guidance in making an important decision. Goals are useful because they help the mentee to see the bigger picture not get bogged down in day-to-day tasks and problems. It is important to teach the mentee to return regularly to their goals to focus on achieving them and to measure progress. The mentor must be able to assess the level of commitment of the mentee to the goals. This book gives us details on these issues.
