Watching them grow and succeed is akin to nurturing a seed into a tree and seeing it bear fruit. I’ve had the privilege of mentoring some incredibly talented individuals. Of course, when you and your mentor are doing it out of sheer responsibility to the corporate mantra - there’s not going to be much result. In my opinion, it's the secret sauce that differentiates successful teams and individuals from the rest. Mentoring is an integral part of personal and professional growth, both for the mentor and the mentee. You may be wondering "Isn't mentoring just another buzzword tossed around in the corporate world?" Here's the thing - it is, and it isn’t. Not implying in any way that I’m the best mentor to software developers, I just learned a thing or two over the course of my career, that I think will be useful to people who want to start mentoring. I've seen the good, the bad, the ugly, and let me tell you - it's mostly good.
I’ve worn many hats over the years - mentor and mentee are one of them. Let’s talk about the process where the experienced welcome the inexperienced under their wing and illuminate the path ahead.
