Productive Energy Cycles in Mentoring Relationships. A Qualitative Investigation

Author

Abstract

Cross-Company Mentoring is an external form of business mentoring across organizational borders. Thereby it is important that the participants are able to quickly get into a high quality developmental relationship to reap the benefits of the learning opportunities. This paper thus focuses on the influence and impact of an essential power, namely the human energy that emerges and flows between two interactive individuals. Based on a study that provides a unique dyadic and qualitative empirical examination of the development of mentoring relationships, the relationship between the perceived energy level of 13 mentoring tandems and their outcomes are examined. The mentoring tandems are classified into high, medium and low-performing tandems. Similarities and differences between these performance groups as well as same-gender and cross-gender tandems are worked out. Suggestions for a reflected and successful development of sustainable relationships are made.
