International Mentoring Day (January 17)
Structured internal mentoring program: experienced managers guide new managers over 6-12 months. Proven: mentoring reduces leadership mistakes, lowers manager turnover, and strengthens leadership culture.
Idea to get started
Matchmaking process: match mentee needs with mentor profiles. Kick-off event. Structured framework: 12 meetings of 60 min over a year. Provide a guiding-questions catalog. Closing share-out within the leadership circle.
