Supervisors and Mentors

Supervisors, we believe you should encourage and actively support your employees' participation in Leadership Alchemy because they've demonstrated a commitment to leadership and deserve to enhance their leadership skills for the benefit of both themselves and the organization.

Mentors serve as role models and counselors. Mentors will periodically meet with those Goddard employees they are guiding for leadership conversations. They can offer another perspective, while serving in their role model and counselor capacities. Mentors help employees develop Leadership Action Plans and can provide access to a wider network of people who can support an employee's leadership journey. Most participants are matched with a mentor they do not know – ordinarily someone from another part of the organization who can offer a diverse perspective. Mentors will be at either an equivalent or higher organizational level than the employees they guide. Many are supervisors and some are past Leadership Alchemy graduates.
