Unless the mentee is real, the mentor ends up mentoring an imposter and it’s a waste of time for both.

— Lois Zachary, EdD

If I hadn’t had mentors, I wouldn’t be here today. I’m a product of great mentoring, great coaching… Coaches or mentors are very important. They could be anyone–your husband, other family members, or your boss.

— Indra Nooyi the CEO of PepsiCo

In what is known as the 70/20/10 learning concept, Robert Eichinger and Michael Lombardo, in collaboration with Morgan McCall of the Center for Creative Leadership, explain that 70 percent of learning and development takes place from real-life and on-the-job experiences, tasks, and problem solving; 20 percent of the time development comes from other people through informal or formal feedback, mentoring, or coaching; and 10 percent of learning and development comes from formal training.

— Marcia Conner

Mentoring is the cultivation of young adults, the tender caring for and nurturing of them so that they will grow, flourish, and be fruitful.

— Jeff Myers

It is a solemn duty to change lives positively.It is a noble honor to inspire and be there for others.It is an irresistible necessity to have empathy; to understand the situations and the reasons for the actions of others. Real mentoring is less of neither the candid smile nor the amicable friendship that exists between the mentor and the mentee and much more of the impacts. The indelible great footprints the mentor lives on the mind of the mentee in a life changing way. How the mentor changes the mentee from ordinariness to extra-ordinariness; the seed of purposefulness that is planted and nurtured for great fruits; the prayer from afar from the mentor to the mentee; and the great inspirations the mentee takes from the mentor to dare unrelentingly to face the storms regardless of how arduous the errand may be with or without the presence of the mentor.

— Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

Today the lines between mentoring and networking are blurring. Welcome to the world of mentworking.

— Julie Winkle Giulioni

— Tae Yoo

The biggest thing I want to see is that people have the drive to succeed. If they can ‘take it or leave it,’ I don’t do business with them. I enjoy mentoring. I like people who want to learn.

— Tilman J. Fertitta

Genius is the basis for the deepest type of mentoring. When true learning occurs genius teaches genius and both the teacher and the student grow.

— Michael Meade

Rather than accepting the drifting separation of the generations, we might begin to define a more complex and interesting set of life stages and parenting passages, each emphasizing the connections to the generations ahead and behind. As I grow older, for example, I might first see my role as a parent in need of older, mentoring parents, and then become a mentoring parent myself. When I become a grandparent, I might expect to seek out older mentoring grandparents, and then later become a mentoring grandparent.

— Richard Louv

Mentorships, similar to other important relationships, usually end. Ideological differences and a need to chart a personal path might preclude parties from maintaining the original balance that stabilized a mentoring relationship. Conflict between an apprentice and his master is not always bad; in fact, it is almost inevitable, if the apprentice’s destiny is to exceed the accomplishments of the master.

— Kilroy J. Oldster

In a battery, I strive to maximize electrical potential. When mentoring, I strive to maximize human potential.

— Donald Sadoway

Mentoring is all about people – it’s about caring, about relationships and sensitivity. As it becomes increasingly in vogue it is becoming too formulated – concerned with performance metrics, critical success factors, investment and spending. It’ll be a disaster.

— Rene Carayol

I try to develop others. I get a great deal of joy out of helping people who, over the years, I’ve spent a lot of time mentoring – and just trying to get them to another level.

— Gerry Harvey
