Executive Mentorship

Executive mentoring prepares mid-level managers and executives to move successfully into senior-level positions. Executive mentoring creates a ripple effect, as executives apply what they have learned from mentoring to their staff’s development plans. Mentoring filters through the organisation and a mentoring culture evolves. In a mentoring culture, knowledge is shared and leadership skills are learned, so that there is no “brain drain” when the organization’s leadership retires.

By making key executives accessible and open to feedback, executive mentoring creates opportunities for honest conversation and enhances senior staff’s understanding of their chief executive.

The Executive Mentorship Programme focuses on:

• Industry progression and evolution
• Developing mid-level professionals
• Enhancing profitability throughout the enterprise
• Embedding a strong and pervasive organisational culture
• Developing strategies for gaining or retaining competitive advantage
• Developing and executing strategic plans efficiently
• Career Planning: Aligning Career and Organisational Goals
• Preparing for challenges in a changing business climate
