What is Mentoring?
The origin of the word mentor comes from mythology. Homer tells in Odyssey that the King of Ithaca, Ulysses, entrusted his son Telemachus to his best friend Mentor before he went to war. It takes twenty years for the king to return from the war, and the Mentor teaches and trains the prince best in the king’s absence.
Therefore, the mentor; It can be defined as a guiding person who works in/out of an organization and has gained experience by working in different positions, advising employees on company policy, corporate requirements, working strategies and career orientation. Mentors aim to establish long-term, education-oriented relationships with them while transferring their knowledge about the company to their successors.
What is the Difference Between Coaching and Mentoring?
Coaching, when considered as a word meaning, means to take someone from one place to another. Coaching is a planned development relationship created between the “coach” and the client “coachee” in order to achieve the expected performance. It is a learning and development phase that reveals the potential of people and focuses on attainable goals. Coaching is considered one of the most accurate ways to increase the performance of an employee in the organization and to gain the skills they need.
Coaching involves the relationship between a professionally trained coach and a client who agrees to receive support to improve their career, improve their performance, and achieve their goals. Coaching programs are given to employees in an organization, to focus on areas determined as development areas and to have the opportunity to master while performing the required tasks. Coaching does not include advice and experience sharing. Mentoring is; Mentor is the person who, by taking example the path they have walked before, share their experience on the road and trains, is a role model, and supports the individual who will walk on that path in order to enable that person to create their own path and methods. The mentor is also a reliable guide. The need for mentors who take on the mission of guiding young people who are just starting out in business life and who have not yet determined their goals and ideals is increasing day by day.
Key Differences:
- The mentor allows decision makers for the company to take action by sharing their experiences and showing different options for solutions. By doing research, mentor reveals the issues that the company is missing, uses measurable methods, and deals with a professional capacity development process.
- The main goals of the coach are to improve performance, change behaviour, develop skills, and provide change management. The main goals of the mentor are to guide and support the mentee’s personal and career development.
- Considering the coach’s focus; problems, vision, goal-oriented development, performance is on the client’s agenda.
Considering the mentor’s focus, career development is the new team’s understanding and recognition of the corporate culture. It is also the realization of career planning and knowledge transfer.
- It is not necessary for the coach to have an expertise or knowledge on the subject. The coach provides support for the client to find themselves by using the way of questioning and making them think.
- In mentoring, advice, experience sharing, feedback, questions and questioning, modelling methods are put into practice.
- The coach must receive special training through an authorized institution and be a professional coach.
