It's rewarding to become a mentor. But you can't take every young upstart under your wing. Ask yourself these three questions to choose the right protégé:
•How motivated is the mentee? Assess the junior person's drive to learn and advance in the lifestyle - knowledge and serving. Your mentee has to be motivated if you're going to have a successful relationship.
•How far is there to go? Where is the mentee in terms of experience versus where she wants to be? You should take someone on with developmental gaps that you can help fill.
•Do I have the relevant experience and time? You never want to shortchange a mentoring relationship. Be sure you can effectively support the mentee in terms of knowledge and effort.
Always ensure that your Master is approving of the time and effort it takes to be a mentor. Being a mentor can help you grow as a person and discover parts of you that was never evident before.
Enjoy!
