- Mentor need not to be teacher/trainer but s/he must have experience in similar domain. If you are planning for mountaineering , you need experienced person who had already been there.
- Mentor should help in clearing confusion. For example : Lord Krishna discussion with Arjuna in war field(Mahabharat) is now case study for management folks.
- Mentor should identify hidden capabilities of mentee. We have example of Ramayana where Jamwant reminded Hanuman ji for his capabilities.
- Mentor should not be biased for any domain as per his/her capability. S/he should explain all aspects of career in particular domain.
- Mentor should be easily approachable for quick pointers related to career.
- Mentor should provide direct feedback on both soft and hard skills.
