Providing constructive feedback on a regular basis can be a daunting task in today's fast-paced world. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that you perform performance reviews correctly when you finally get the opportunity to do so.
Mentoring programs have become mainstream. About 70% of Fortune 500 companies have one. A Harvard Business Review study of 30 professional firms found that, in a hypercompetitive world, it is easy for mentoring programs to become stale and bureaucratic. Mentoring can have positive impacts in terms of job satisfaction, organisational commitment, and even career progression. In this presentation, I explain how mentoring mentoring influences both career progression and salary. Of course many of these findings depend on the specific type of mentoring and institution, but positive effects are clear.

9. Don’t be nasty
If somebody is trying really hard and it doesn’t work we might need to change something else, not necessarily
that person.
10. Don’t take the ownership
It is his project. You only help him integrate better in our way of work.
11. Don’t be negative
It is the first impression that will influence new team members for some time. If you don’t like things yourself
he will most likely not adopt them.
12. Don’t be dogmatic
Our business processes constitute a roadmap, not a recipe. We follow them for the benefits of the company not
to end in itself.
