Summary/Abstract: The starkest reality of surviving in the business domain is that competition is fierce. Further progress depends on people developing additional skills and new interests and getting more information advice and support. Nowadays, organizations are so concerned with earning money, that they have lost their art of earning talent. Mentoring, as approach to people development, represents reciprocal relationship between two or more individuals who share mutual responsibility for helping a mentee achieve clearly defined goals. The benefits of mentoring can have a profound impact on those whom an organization interacts with: clients, business partners and the community. It helps people build new relationships and strengthen existing ones. People become more collaborative in their performance and feel more prepared to offer themselves as mentors to others.
