I leave people better than I found them 🚀

⭐️ Reverse Mentoring ⭐️ Simply the opposite format of traditional mentoring, where the senior employee is mentored by a younger or more junior employee. 👩🏻👴🏽 In this fast and dynamic work environments and in light of the increasing percentage of Generation Z within organizations, one of the practices that I recommend is reverse mentoring. This practice opens additional channels of learning, reduce the skill gap, foster innovation, and brings fresh perspectives. What do you think about this practice??

I think it is key to keep open to such practice. However, it shall be well structured from top management in terms of how to mentor or and how to be memtored. Age is not the only factor, there is nunance. In some jobs as mid or executive, I have managed older team members who were seniors, mid or even juniors. In other job, my line manager was 10 years younger than me. All were enriching since age was not on the table of focus. Experience in specific job is not related to the age and shall not be a factor. It is more about the leadership style and alignment in values. I once worked with a line manager who is significantly older than me with also experience in the subject matter, but had weak leadership skills
