The role of mentoring in shaping the thriving learning organisations of the future

Mangion-Thornley, Karine

Abstract

Mentoring is a powerful approach to share knowledge, experience, and establish long-term trustworthy relationships. However complex, the problems that organisations face can be explored through the lens of experience and existing knowledge. Mentors have a critical role to play in developing learning organisations. The role of mentors is to share their social capital, experience and understanding of underlying mechanisms of collaboration across multiple stakeholders. By doing so, they help to bridge old and new approaches, and avoid repeating the same mistakes. Their role is also to support the development of employees, at a cognitive, behavioural, and emotional levels. Particularly, they have an important role as connectors in the new hybrid and digital world or work, where they facilitate connection-focused conversations to ensure that employees are engaged and feel supported.
