Mentoring a management team that steers the organization:
- For management teams with a common challenge
- Team mentoring is facilitated by one mentor
- We always start with an in-depth analysis of the context and the needs
- The mentor shares their experiences and advice with the management team and facilitates peer learning
- Active follow-up of the implementation
- Like in individual mentoring, we measure the impact of team mentoring at several moments throughout the journey.
