Quite a list of duties.   I wonder how anyone can live up to these expectations 
in 15 hours a week.

[ha-Safran] Article on mentoring: "The Road Map to a Symbiotic Mentor-Mentee Relationship" by Arnie Fertig

[Stephanie L Gross]

The Road Map to a Symbiotic Mentor-Mentee Relationship

By Arnie Fertig
August 6, 2013

Do you remember the last time you bought something that needed to be assembled 
at home? Some of us have an innate knack for looking at all the parts that come 
in the package and figuring out how they all fit together. Others of us are 
adept at following the instructions, and for many more even, the instructions 
fail to provide the sought-after clarity of direction. We crave the personal 
attention that will walk us step-by-step through the construction 
process.

So too it is with our careers. Some people know at an early age what they want 
to do with their lives and go about doing it with little direction. The vast 
majority of us, however, at one point or another wish that our professional 
career path would come with an easy-to-read-and-follow map that guides us from 
our first job all the way to retirement.

While that singular map doesn't exist, numerous sources of support and insight 
are available in the forms of books, articles, counselors and coaches.

Paul Krieg, a business experience manager at Northern Kentucky University, 
argues that mentoring is key to long-term success. He advises that "mentors can 
provide you with the 'big picture,' yet put you in control of deciding the best 
course of action for yourself." Read
