As a project manager, you recognize that one of your team members has the potential to lead future projects but lacks confidence in her decision-making abilities. You decide to mentor her. Considering your own commitments and the project deadlines, what is the most effective approach to ensure that mentoring is given adequate time without adversely affecting the project's progression?
Block out a large amount of time for an intensive mentoring retreat after reaching major milestones.
Schedule regular, short sessions throughout the project's lifecycle.
Conduct mentoring sessions whenever there seems to be downtime or a pause in the project.
Wait until the project concludes to provide a comprehensive mentoring program.
Scheduling regular, short mentoring sessions during the project's lifecycle ensures that the mentorship is provided consistently and integrates with the flow of the project work. This method allows for continuous development without imposing significant disruptions to project schedules. Blocking out a large portion of time at once can overwhelm the mentee and disrupt the project flow, random and infrequent sessions may not provide consistent support and development, and waiting for the project to end might be too late for the mentee to apply the learning during the critical stages of the project.
