individual Differences in Mentoring.

By -
As a mentor, it is very important your pay attention to individual differences among humans. You can't generalize everything and expect to have impact.

One of the keys of becoming a healthy mentor is to pay attention to individual differences in people. Using animals as examples, what a lion appreciate is different from what a monkey will appreciate. So are humans, our individual temperament determines the way we perceive things.

We have four different human temperaments wired in every human blood. Make your research, learnt and understand the right approach for each of your mentee.

Comparing one person to another will fight your mentee instead of helping them. Each of your mentee is unique in their individual capacity. The capacity of learning among them is different. Some are low learners and some are fast learner while some don't even need supervision. They can engage in self learning. So, relate with each of your mentee according to their capacity.

Don't generalize your lectures. Don't generalize your approach. Don't generalize your teaching, correcting, rebuking and instructing. Pay attention to the temperament of your study and nurture them according to the way they perceive wisdom and help.

Your students will not become who you want them to become. They will become who God has designed them to become. They won't grow according to your expectations. They will learn according to their individual human temperament wired in their blood.

As a Godly mentor in any field of life, respect individual differences and you will flourish.

Don’t Take Bad Moods Personally Everyone has bad days, and the best way to show grace when a colleague has the blues is not to take it to heart.
