Mentoring is key to applying emotional and social intelligence concepts and tools so people grow in competence and mastery. Mentoring is best done in a Socratic process with clear guidelines. Mentoring is not the responsibility of the leaders alone. We recommend peer and reverse mentoring by all who participate in the culture transformation process. Hear one software engineer speak about the lessons he learned that increased his emotional and social intelligence and skill on his team.
Preston: What I like about the mentoring is we get to rate our relationships in an non-threatening environment. We also get to better understand what tools we have and which tools are best to approach a specific relationship based off of its needs. Okay so the the biggest challenge that I had so far is really picking the right tool for the need, for the relationship, whatever is happening, because there’s so many tools that we learn. Really the tool that I use the most out of everything is the redirecting negative behavior because I really, it’s a self-check of where I’m at. Until I can figure out where I’m at, I really can’t help better that relationship is what I found.
