MENTORSHIP SPOTLIGHT
Trust, Confidence and Commitment Makes Mentoring Work This issue we spotlight mentee Liz Hargett and her mentor Vicky Lyle. Liz has learned to utilize her sphere of influence to meet leadership growth goals, and Vicky has learned that a mentee usually knows the answer to her question, she just needs the space to talk it through with someone she can trust. Read below to learn what makes their mentorship work. MENTEE’S PERSPECTIVE
Liz Hargett, Manager, Performance Groups, Supply Chain Services, Premier Inc. What is your background? I have been in Supply Chain for almost 14 years working in group purchasing organizations (GPOs). I joined Premier eight years ago and absolutely love working in the healthcare industry. It is such a fast-paced environment with so much opportunity for growth. And, knowing that I am making a difference keeps me motivated.
Why were you seeking a mentor? What was your goal? Oftentimes, our best intentions of focusing on our own development is pushed aside as it competes with other priorities. I trusted that working with a PWH® mentor would bring that focus to the forefront. I was eager for advice and coaching in my own professional growth as well as leadership development. Since my entire career has been GPO centered, I specifically requested a mentor that could offer a different perspective.
