The document outlines Andre Harrell's leadership mentoring strategy and process. It involves:
1) Identifying 3-4 competencies the mentee wants to improve on with milestones.
2) Using a SWOT analysis to evaluate the mentee's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.
3) Creating an action plan with responsibilities, timelines, and resources to address weaknesses and threats.
The goal is to develop the mentee's leadership skills through real-world application to help them advance their career. Regular meetings are used to track progress, celebrate victories, and learn lessons.

3. THE MENTORING
PROCESS
• FIRST, IT'S GETTING AGREEMENT ON AT
LEAST 3 TO 4 COMPETENCIES THE "MENTEE"
WISHES TO IMPROVE.
• THESE 3 OR 4 COMPETENCIES WILL HAVE
MILESTONES AND DISCUSSED DURING EACH
MENTORING SESSION.
• BOTH (MENTOR & MENTEE) MUST HOLD
THEMSELVES ACCOUNTABLE TO ENSURING
EACH MILESTONE IS SCHEDULED AND
EXECUTED.
• WE’LL CELEBRATE THE SMALL VICTORIES
LEADING UP TO EACH MILESTONE.
• MAKE SURE EVERY MENTORING MEETING IS
FUN AND THAT THERE IS A "LESSON'S
LEARNED" AFTER EACH INTERACTION.

THE GOAL OF MENTORING IS TO GAIN BETTER RESULTS FASTER.
THE QUESTION IS, HOW DO WE SHORTEN THE DISTANCE AND

“MENTORING IS AN ITERATIVE PROCESS, AND THEREFORE A LINEAR APPROACH DOES NOT ACCURATELY
REFLECT THE MENTORING CONVERSATION”.
(TOO OFTEN TIME IS SPENT IN THE CURRENT SITUATION AND NOT MUCH PROGRESS IS MADE IN SKILL DEVELOPMENT)
STEP #1: 20% CLARIFY THE GOAL AND WHERE THE LEADER IS CURRENTLY IN RELATION TO THE GOAL,
STEP #2: 80% OF YOUR TIME ON THE GOAL/SUCCESS AND HOW YOU ARE GOING TO GET THERE.
10. “REAL WORLD” MENTORING
• MENTOR HAS DECIDED WHAT NEEDS TO BE
“FIXED."
• BEGINS TO ASK QUESTIONS TO GET THE MENTEE
TO SEE IT.
• WHATEVER IS SAID, THE MENTOR MAY ADD THEIR
“TWO CENTS
• “PROBLEM” IS “AGREED” UPON; MENTOR
ASKS/TELLS HOW TO SOLVE IT.
• SOLUTION IS BASED ON A STANDARDIZED
PROCESS.
• ONCE “FIXED," MENTOR LOOKS FOR ANOTHER
PROBLEM TO “FIX."

NOTE: IF THE MENTOR PROVIDES
ALL THE ANSWERS, THE PROCESS
FAILS AND IS MUCH MORE
DIFFICULT TO ACHIEVE AN 80%

15. SWOT ANALYSIS – Mentor-ship Process
Purpose
To give a structured approach to the ongoing review of critical issues with the mentee. To
provide a simple but effective tool to identify essential actions, plan resources and follow
up to ensure successful leadership implementation.
Procedure
The SWOT Analysis has three forms:
1. SWOT Listing
2. SWOT Action Plan
3. Action Plan Listing
SWOT Listing
Use this form in a workshop/brainstorming session to identify and list all critical issues that should
be dealt with by the company. It is a “snap shot” of the company’s current reality. Note:
See “Strength and Weakness Features” on page 6 to assist in identifying issues.
• Strengths – these are the things the mentee does well.
• Weaknesses – these are the things a mentee needs to improve.
• Opportunities – these are external factors that could be an advantage if acted upon.
• Threats - these are external factors that could cause harm.
SWOT Action Plan
Use this form to list each action item listed in the SWOT Listing. If there is more than one
action for a SWOT Listing, there should be an Action Plan for each of the actions. Once the action
plan as been identified, the resources necessary to carry out the action must be planned. The
status of each action must be reviewed and updated frequently - at bi-weekly mentor meetings or
other conveniently scheduled timing. Mentor will be responsible to track all action plans and keep
the form updated for mentorship review.
