Mentoring

Different protégés will require different amounts and kinds of attention, advice, information, and encouragement.

Some will feel comfortable approaching you; others will be shy, intimidated, or reluctant to seek help. A good mentor is approachable and available. At the same time, effective mentoring need not always require large amounts of time. You can provide great help in just a few minutes by making the right suggestion or asking the right question.
