Notes
Define flexibility:
- the ability to be easily modified.
- willingness to change or compromise.
Discuss the connection between time and effort assignment for the mentoring arrangement:
- When working through a challenge it is important to know the amount of time a task will take and the degree of effort
- Automotive industry example - oil change may be shown as requiring 1.5 hours of time - the actual effort is .5. In this case the employee could bill more time than what they work
- Time and effort need to be considered from a task management and goal setting perspective - over promise and under deliver
Discuss the shifting elements within a mentoring arrangement:
- Time commitments on the part of both participants
- Needs
- Organization direction
- Chemistry
- Personalities
