/ G UIDEBOOK for Mentoring Young Women in Europe Different Types of Mentoring in WoMentor Practice One to one mentoring This is a formal mentoring relationship developed directly within an organisation or company where a younger mentee is matched with an experienced business mentor.
ADVANTAGES 3 Regular meetings 3 Focus on task-related issues 3 Measured outcomes 3 Learning exchange which increases over time 3 The benefit of constant feedback 3 On-going support while reflecting, assessing
and evaluating learning
DISADVANTAGES 3 The risk of lack of compatibility is higher and more
conflicts between mentor and mentee can occur 3 The mentee and mentor both have developmental needs.
If these needs are not complementary, interaction can be frustrating
