Mentoring Changes Lives

For some the mentor-protégé relationship can be highly focussed – structured and pragmatic in helping protégés achieve their goals. For others, the mentoring process becomes one of self-discovery, even the catalyst for life-changing decisions. What every relationship depends on, however, is honesty, trust and shared values. For Phil Kerslake AFNZIM the mentoring process has very much been a case of, as he says: ‘you aim for what you want, and you get what you need’.

Mentoring Proves Its Worth

More than 120 managers have been through the NZIM mentoring programme since it started in 2003, carefully matched up with mentors who range from CEOs to senior public servants and professors of marketing and management. The 12-month programme is proving a resounding success for participants and their organisations, largely due to the emphasis on getting a good fit between mentor and protégé, as well as the strict confi dentiality of the service.

Mentoring - a Police Officer's Perspective

By Superintendent Ollie Beckett, National Manager, Training and Professional Development.
Late last December, I addressed the 2004 Inspector’s Qualifying Course at The Royal New Zealand Police College following the presentation to me of a Fellow’s certificate with the New Zealand Institute of Management. I was very pleased to receive this acknowledgement for a range of executive-level experiences gained in the latter part of my 33 years in the New Zealand Police. I thank my good friend Ron Rowe for his guidance in pursuing this valued accolade. And I would like to thank NZIM’s Peter Garnett and David Brown for their consideration in processing my application.
