Clarification in the first meeting
Those general responsibilities should be clarified at the program’s outset.
- Who invites to meetings?
- How often will we be in touch? Who makes what step, when it is time then to meet?
However, a more practical and specific discussion about them happens over time. Our experience has been that particular awareness should be given to this topic during the Phases of Mentoring.
Mentor
The mentor’s main responsibility is to establish the first steps in a mentorship and then to maintain it throughout. On a related note, mentors should also give their meetings with mentees clear formal and methodological structures.
Mentee
The mentee is responsible for communicating with his or her mentor actively and regularly, developing his or her activities independently, and implementing the ideas that came about through meetings.
