Click here: Get the Mentoring Equation Right
This is a really good article for those seeking mentors and mentors seeking mentees. The author describes a successful mentoring relationship bound by this equation:
Mentee's Drive x Distance is greater than or equal to Mentor's Gap x Relevance x Effort
where:
Drive = How motivated is the mentee?
Distance = Where is the mentee in terms of experience vs. where they need/want to be?
Gap = The amount of experience the mentor has compared to the mentee
Relevance = The distance between the mentor's expertise and the mentee's goal
Effort = How much work it will take to bridge any gaps of experience or relevance
