Many organizations function these days with 4 or 5 generations of employees, whose work-place preferences can cause serious difficulties in seamless operations. Add to that multiple channels of communication, ever-changing technology and a range of leadership and management styles, and you have the makings of conflict and frustration. Whatever various organizations define as mentoring, they need to make sure even the mentors are up-to-date; focused both on sharing theory and current application to roles in real-world contexts.

Rather, let’s explore how you can tap into and leverage your values, skills and wisdom as a later-career (Encore) Mentor, along with or separate from your actual job.
