Mentoring Magic
Showing the way helps you and your employees
There’s a story in Greek mythology where Odysseus has to leave for the Trojan War. Worried about his son’s future, he places the boy in the charge of the old and wise adviser, Mentor, until his return.
In the hospitality industry, there is a growing number of such trusted leaders who help employees adjust and learn by teaching them what they know.
“With mentoring, you’re transferring one person’s experience to another,” says Katie Bennett, an executive leadership coach and speaker with her own company, Double Black Diamond Coaching. “The employee has the questions, and the mentor has the answers.”
Mentoring in the hospitality industry can apply at all levels, whether assisting new recruits as they integrate into your operation or showing the way for employees switching jobs and adjusting to a new role. “Mentoring is not really age-specific,” says Bennett, “although a younger person probably doesn’t know as much. But at any age, if you’re new to a task, that’s when mentoring can be really powerful. ‘I’m new to this task, teach me how to do this."

Upward Feedback 101
Soliciting constructive input from subordinates
There are many different ways to measure managerial effectiveness, ranging from traditional performance reviews to newfangled computer simulations.
The concept of “upward feedback” relies on subordinates’ assessment and perspectives of their managers as a major part of evaluating managerial effectiveness. Upward feedback is based on the common-sense principle that managers can only be as good as their employees say they are.

The Building Blocks of Success

The broad category of activities that are referred to as “career development” include an array of practices designed to heighten professional opportunities, growth, and advancement of the course of the entire career cycle.
By offering comprehensive support in the career development arena, employers can not only help to maximize their staff’s effectiveness, job satisfaction, and long-term success, but they can also boost retention and encourage organizational commitment and job loyalty.
