Who gets credit for mentoring?
Mentoring is a satisfying and productive activity for the participants and WHOI. Mentoring should be considered to be part of an individual’s personal development plan. Some of the rewards for mentoring are not always tangible. These include improving your communication skills and ability to guide others, getting to know others and building insights into other parts of the Institution as well as helping to develop a stronger set of professional colleagues at WHOI. It is satisfying to see others grow. Good mentoring is valued by the Institution and may be recognized when evaluating an individual’s performance and contributions to the organization.
