Connecting People: How to Use the Book in a Mentoring Relationship
摘要
This chapter describes contemporary approaches to the mentoring relationship in the context of the intensive care environment. Rather than developing a “mini-me,” modern mentoring offers the opportunity to meet someone where they are at and then advance them in the direction they want to go to be the best version of themselves. The idea of having multiple mentors—each for different reasons—rather than just one is discussed, and this notion underpins the value of the quotes used throughout the book to discuss various aspects of intensive care medicine. The chapter provides a pragmatic guide for preparing oneself to participate in a mentoring relationship—whether in a mentor or mentee role.
