Abstract
The mentor relationship can significantly enhance development in early adulthood and also in the midcareer stage of the more experienced individual. A conceptual model derived from an intensive biographical interview study of 18 relationships in one corporate setting is presented to highlight the successive phases of this developmental relationship.Keywords
