Recommendation

What comes to mind when you think of a workplace mentor? Probably someone older, with years of managerial experience. But junior employees – particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds – have a lot to teach their supervisors. Leaders, after all, must understand the challenges their employees face before making executive decisions. In an episode of Brené Brown’s Dare to Lead podcast, executive coach Patrice Gordon discusses how to use “reverse mentoring” to build trust and foster inclusion in your organization.

Take-Aways

  • Reverse mentoring is a management practice in which a senior employee seeks leadership insights from a junior staff member.
  • Virgin Atlantic’s reverse mentoring pilot program was so successful, HR incorporated it into its people strategy.
  • A psychologically safe work environment is responsible for 90% of a reverse mentoring program’s success.
