Explanation / Answer

Mentoring refers to the guiding someone in his or her pursuit by showing the right path, offering problem solving ideas, improving morale of the mentee and helping the mentee in his or her difficult moments. A mentor always shows the belief in the abilities of the mentee and never let mentee to drift away from the main path of work. It brings different benefits to the mentee. The first benefit is the able and experienced guidance by the mentor who already knows the challenges and makes the mentee, aware of it in advance. For example, a budding entrepreneur gets guidance in preparation of project report and become aware of the teasing questions being asked to him by the investors. Here, a mentor helps him ready to answer and come through by becoming stronger. Other benefits are moral support, help in building network as well as use of existing network by the permission of the mentor.
In all these processes, the mentor also gets the benefits. The first benefit is the degree of success achieved by the proposed ideas as a part of mentoring services and inner satisfaction achieved by the mentor. It is the intrinsic benefit that satisfies the highest level of need of recognition. The other benefits are growing popularity among the students, budding entrepreneurs and other mentees and self-belief in his own abilities to mentor someone and help them succeed. So, mentor and mentee both look at each other for benefits, but with a different perspective.
