Mentor – Mentee Relationship

A Mentor – Mentee relationship is one of the most important relationships in the field of management, wherein the mentor is like a guide/ guardian, friend and consultant.

Students enroll in an MBA programme with a million dreams and a thousand aspirations. At this stage, they tend to deviate from their vision. They need someone who can illuminate their career paths. The guide nudges them to focus and achieve what they desire, and also provides a helpful listening ear.

At IIFP, we focus on the needs of students and provide solutions to their problems in the form of an established mentor - mentee relationship.

We follow an association of 1:8, meaning a single mentor is responsible for 8 students. First year students are paired with faculty members, with the objective being to assist them with any issues or problems that they may face, insofar as to ensure that they continue their learning without any disturbances.

The responsibilities of a Mentor are:

• To keep students informed of their academic performance and encourage their participation in extracurricular activities.

• Help students to chart out a suitable career path.

• Provide students tips in grooming & etiquette

The following table will help us understand the mentor-mentee relationship better:

Relation Parameter	Mentee	Mentor
Clear Communication	Specifies what he/ she desires from the program	Shows the way forward to achieve one’s goals
Support Offerings	Remembers the mentor is always there	Encourages them always and helps create an action plan
Point of Contact	Be polite, ask questions and keep up with your emails	Answer emails and provide advice & guidance when required
Being honest	If you don’t understand something,  do not hesitate to ask for a clarification	Ensure a truthful and proper response
Actively participate	If mentor is local, try to gain practical experience	Utilise mentee as a resource & engage them
Be positive	Never take feedback as criticism	Recognize and appreciate the hard work of the mentee
Reliable and consistent	Ask questions frequently and always be in touch with your mentor	Be spontaneous in your replies
Innovative and creative	Offer ideas for activities	Formulate and incorporate their ideas to encourage participation
Define expectations	Review your performance from time to time	Help set up a system to measure and improve performance

 

The theory of a friend, philosopher, and guide is used at IIFP to setup a fabulous relationship between a mentor and a mentee. If there is really someone whom you can bank upon during the course of your enrollment, that person is ‘your mentor’.
