PEMCO Gets It: They don't care how much you know until they know how much you care
I listened to Rod Brooks (CMO at Pemco) talk about mentoring. He gets it. And he walks the talk. Below are his top 10 Key Observations and Take-Aways
1. The role of a mentor
- advise
- advocate
- challenge
- encourage
- support
- guide
- model (walk the talk)
2. Be secure in who you are
3. Don't feel like you always must have an answer
4. Stay informed and stay current
5. Always be positive and supportive
6. Do more asking than stating
7. Celebrate the joys and the sorrows with equal gusto
8. Don't be surprised by separation
9. Be there for them
10. They don't care how much you know until they know how much you care
Now find someone and get mentoring.
