Is mentoring in a formalized format “real” mentoring?
The mentoring is real because it is entered into as a voluntary agreement between two parties in order to accomplish a specific purpose. Each party understands the need to build the relationship from the ground up with full commitment to make it productive and satisfying. The commitment of both parties is documented in the form of a written agreement or learning plan, which contains their own ground rules for the partnership, statement of roles, expectations, learning objectives and discussion topics.
