“…Instilling in the scholars a sense of mentoring others from the experience of being a mentee has not been directly addressed in the literature. The benefits of being a mentor are described in the literature as building leadership, communication skills, career advancement, and personal satisfaction (Ard & Beasley, 2022). These skills were enhanced in the scholars as they were mentored over the course of the yearlong program.…”

The aim of the NLN/Jonas Scholars Program is to support doctoral nursing students whose program of research focuses on research in nursing education. As a 10-year review, 23 nursing students pursuing a doctorate participated in focus groups with the goal of describing the influence of a year-long mentoring program on their career trajectory. Analysis of the data revealed two themes: having someone believe in me and my research topic and being mentored and learning to mentor others. The findings support that being skilled in conducting pedagogical research with mentorship advances nursing education practice, scholarship, and leadership.

“…Mentoring is a key ingredient for succession plans in clinical practice. 10 Obviously, unattained clinical excellence cannot be transmitted to the upcoming professionals. The clinician who will serve as a mentor must have attained a degree of vocational distinction before the mentoring process can be efficient.…”

Clinical excellence is the ability to provide rigorous, evidence-based, and rewarding care to the right patients. The BALM (brilliance, attitude, leadership, and materials) framework is a novel model for adjudicating clinical excellence. There are a few models and frameworks for evaluating clinical excellence, but each has its flaws and does not consider the peculiarities of economically-challenged regions such as sub-Saharan Africa. Coincidentally, such low-resource areas have an urgent need for a framework to assess clinical excellence because of their low health-related indices. The five-step model of professional excellence is a well-recognised tool and was the model upon which the BALM framework was built. So, the BALM framework determines to what extent, using the five-step stages of novice, advanced beginner, competent, proficient, and expert, a clinician has achieved in each of the four critical domains, namely brilliance, attitude, leadership, and materials. Therefore, a clinician, who strives for excellence, aims to be an “expert” in each of the domains of the BALM framework. The framework is concise, practical, easy to use, and multidimensional, although it still needs to be applied widely to assess its reproducibility.

“…Generally, mentors have extensive education, knowledge, and experience (Eby & Robertson, 2020). In contrast, mentees are focused on learning specific skills at the start of their careers and view mentors as trusted role models with prior experience or familiarity with the developmental goal (Ard & Beasley, 2022). Mentors act as a resource to mentees, orient them on workplace requirements, and continually support them in building their self-esteem and confidence (Stapley et al, 2022).…”

Orientation: The way work is performed changes continuously and mentoring is becoming more prevalent in the workplace and this rapid modification of work profiles mentoring relationships as vital.Research purpose: This study explored the mentor’s and mentee’s experiences in the same relationship at a construction firm offering a formal mentoring programme.Motivation for the study: A more comprehensive understanding of the mentoring relationship was required to aid organisations with agile and robust talent and skills development interventions.Research approach/design and method: A qualitative research design was employed and in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted. Data were analysed in two phases: (1) direct content analysis and (2) thematic analyses. The study’s findings are singularly reported to comprehensively understand the mentoring relationship’s lived experiences.Main findings: The experiences of the mentoring relationship in a workplace context are viewed as informal, mutualistic, and context-bound. Four key themes emerged from the mentoring relational interaction: (1) positive relationship, (2) growth and enablement, (3) psychological safety, and (4) purposeful.Practical/managerial implications: The findings could assist organisations in realising the importance of mentoring relationships in mentoring programmes, as the interaction proves effective in solving pressing challenges, such as attracting and retaining talent and addressing skills gaps.Contribution/value-add: This study conceptualises the mentoring relationship from an organisational context and contributes to the limited available literature on the topic. Possible recommendations are offered to improve workplace mentoring relationships.
