2. Mentoring is usually seen as a particular form of relationship that
generally occurs between an older, more experienced member of
an organisation and a younger, less experienced one, serving a
variety of developmental functions for both parties.
P Iles
A mixture of parent and peer, the mentor’s primary function is to be a
transitional figure in an individual’s development.
D Clutterbuck, The Mentoring Kit

3. A mentor is part warm bath, part cold shower…. It is about
enabling, helping people to celebrate their skills and success, but
also about clarifying thinking, asking awkward
questions, encouraging them to take risks.
M Kelly, Personnel Director for Nikko Europe
Although a familiar concept, its application varies greatly and definition
as to what is meant by mentoring is equally varied. There is a sense
in which mentoring is whatever the two people regard as
appropriate.
