Connecting Mentoring to the Classroom: Lessons for Teachers of Female Undergraduates
Management Teaching Review, v6 n1 p83-91 Mar 2021
This article provides pedagogical activities to help develop students into "model mentees." Being a competent mentee is especially significant for young women who aspire to executive-level management positions. The authors conducted a qualitative study of 14 executive-level women and gained insights into how mentoring relationships affected these women's careers. For the past four semesters, the findings have been used to enhance the content of two business courses, and they were also used to improve the preparation of students who participated in a career-oriented business forum. Further research should be conducted to establish best practices for designing and integrating into business school curricula not just opportunities for students to connect with mentors but also the idea of being a model mentee, which is especially important for female undergraduates.
