C12. Mentorship: a powerful tool for effective and inclusive leaders

Abstract

Mentorship is often only thought about in context of the value it provides to mentees, but it is an important tool for effective and inclusive leaders. In this session, we will cover the theory behind what mentorship is (and what it isn’t), some practical tips on how to do it well and evidence for why it matters. We will also deliver a practical case study highlighting a framework for adaptive leadership and how mentoring is a key enabler of this.
