=== How to encourage your mentee === | |||
As self-motivated as a mentee may be, we all need an encouragement from time to time, and to recognized and thanked for a work well done. Here are some tips/starting points/suggestions/ideas on how you can encourage your mentee and empower him or her to do more! | |||
# '''Comment on their reports'''. Reps often wonder if anyone reads their reports and if reporting an activity actually matters. To show your interest and congratulate a rep publicly for an event or any type of activities successfully accomplished, a mentor is encouraged to leave a comment on mentee's reports. | |||
# '''Consider writing a "Thank you, great job!" email after a big meaningful contribution'''. If a rep has done a tremendous job organizing a successful event or showcased strong leadership in an area of contribution, a mentor can congratulate him through a personalized email. Keep in mind that the more your go into the specifics of what the rep has done right, the better. | |||
# '''Reward good behaviour, discuss problems before condemning'''. As outlined previously, it is crucial to reinforce good behaviour. That said, problems will arise sometimes and as a mentor, you need to takle them carefully. Before exposing your mentee publicly or directly judging based on assumption, sit with your mentee, give him or her an opportunity to explain, and even more importantly, try to gather as much context (from local community for example) as you possible, to get a better understanding of the situation, and get closer to finding a slolution. | |||
# '''Send the Remo welcome pack'''. | |||
# '''Review properly and fast his/her budget request i.e. don't be a blocker'''. | |||
