  10. Productive Practices in Mentoring:ASK, LISTEN, DISCUSS FRANKLY

  11. Frank discussion includes CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM (yellow sheets) • Descriptive rather than evaluative • Specific rather than general • Focused on behavior not the “person” • Focused on behavior the receiver can do something about • Serves the needs of the receiver and the provider of feedback • Well-timed and an amount the receiver can use • Begin with questions and build on the mentee’s understanding: How do you see the issue? What have you done so far? What can you do next? • Solicited rather than imposed; Share information, give advice if asked. • Check to insure clear communication • Elicit feedback on how the communication was provided – building an authentic relationship • Balance constructive criticism and challenge with authentic praise, encouragement and support.
