Notes
Define closure of the mentoring arrangement:
- Closure would occur once both parties have decided the mentoring arrangement has met both needs
- Closure may be a formality but the relationship could continue (maintenance)
- Because it is a two way relationship both parties would need to be comfortable with the term “closure”
- Closure would be a term used in more formal mentoring arrangements
- Closure is seldom used in a non-formal mentoring arrangement
Identify the criteria to acknowledge the mentoring arrangement has run its formal course:
- Goals and objectives of both parties has been met
- The success factors outside of the goals and objectives were realized
- Both parties agree nothing further can be gained
- I would recommend a process to reach out and touch base
- I have found that while we may say the mentoring arrangement is over it really is never over
- If a true connection was made it can be a lifetime arrangement
