I would like to start this article with statements that summarize comments I have heard from many franchise executives over the years . . .
The bad . . .
“We tried mentoring and it didn’t work, “The mentors are telling their mentees to go outside the system,” and “the mentors are not meeting with their mentees.”
The good . . .
“Nothing works like mentoring,” “When they hear from the mentor, they do it,” and “It’s a game-changer.”
The difference is simple – an effectively run mentoring program or a thrown-together program.
The goals of this article are to help you understand how great a successful mentoring program can be, and to help you get the good feedback.
