    Module 1 Mentoring a new employee

    1. �Mentorship


    Mentorship is a relationship between a knowledgeable, experienced person, the mentor, and someone who wants to learn, the mentee. The mentor is someone with an area of expertise who guides the less experienced person. These kinds of relationships are common in the academic and business worlds.

    In business, mentorship is common as a way of helping new or less experienced employees advance their careers and reach their potential. It can be an important part of professional development. The mentor will typically help the mentee identify areas where there is room for improvement and offer support and advice.

    Honest and open communication is critical for the success of mentoring. The mentee must trust that the mentor has knowledge or experience that is relevant to him or her, and the mentor must believe that the mentee has the sincere desire to listen and learn.

    在下一活动中,你将观看一段 Forbes Media 董事长兼主编 Steve Forbes 在 Hult School of Business 发表的关于 leadership 的演讲。

    自己做好听的准备
    在听 Forbes 演讲的同时,思考以下问题:

    2. �Review:reflexive pronouns复习:反身代词

    行为发起与行为接受的人或物相同时,使用反身代词。在代词后添加后缀 -self 或 -selves 即可构成反身代词。

    • He persuaded himself to trust them. 他说服自己信任他们。
    • The leaders convinced themselves of the need for stronger monetary policy. 各国领导人说服自己有必要推行更加强硬的货币政策。

    你可以使用反身代词加强语气。注意,在这些例子中,反身代词直接位于代词之前或之后。

    • Myself – I don't believe in sharing hardship. 我自己 - 我不相信患难与共。

    如果要强调某事,或是让听众或读者产生期待,集中一点是不错的策略。一种办法是使用类似表达,将听众的注意力集中到话题上:

    • One of the most important things is empathy. 同感是最重要的能力之一。

    4. �Developing leadership qualities


    Most human beings are not born with leadership skills. But with honesty, hard work and commitment, leadership qualities can be developed. A first step is to look at your strengths and weaknesses. This is not always an easy task. People can rarely do this entirely by themselves. It's likely you'll need some outside help to evaluate your skills – for example, some feedback from a manager or a colleague.

    Once you've identified your strengths, make a plan of action to maximize them. If you are good at connecting with an audience and effectively sharing your vision, find ways to make an even stronger connection. More important, recognize your weaknesses and develop a plan to improve those areas. Some of the things you might work on are communicating effectively; creating enthusiasm for and getting people invested in your vision; treating associates and their ideas with respect; and taking responsibility for what you say. All of these things, along with designing a realistic plan to realize your vision, will help you become the most effective leader you can be.
