Mentoring can take on different forms. <br>There are many ways through which mentors can <br>improve the effectiveness of the mentoring process. <br>Qualities of mentors, skills of mentors and mentoring <br>methods have already contributed toward protégé career <br>development. In this paper, the author is making an effort <br>to assist the human resource department on how protégé <br>career development can be achieved through the new <br>roles of the Mentors, in the near future. By practising new <br>roles, mentors in organizations can facilitate healthy <br>relationships between the levels of management and in <br>turn, try to achieve individual goals and organizational<br>goals.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Ushus Journal of Business Management}, author={L, Balu and James, Leena}, year={2021}, month={Aug.}, pages={53-69} }
