Listen "Strategies For Effective Mentor and Mentee Relationships At Work"
Episode Synopsis
Mentorship is often misunderstood. Many mentees expect their mentors to drive the relationship or solve their problems. But Amy Salcido, President of Kyndryl U.S., shows us a different take on how to do mentorship right. In today's episode, Amy shares her unique insights from leading a team of 16,000 employees in one of the world's largest IT infrastructure companies. Amy unpacks the lessons she learned at IBM, where mentorship was pivotal in her rise to executive leadership. She explains why mentorship fails without proactive mentees taking responsibility for their own growth, how authenticity accelerates leadership success, and why the best mentors don't give you answers—they guide you to find them yourself. We also tackle the surprising benefits of focusing on passions instead of job titles and how to structure effective mentor-mentee relationships in any organization. ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.
