What are the issues/challenges that come up in one on one mentoring process, issues which can be rectified for a smooth process?

I have often use mentorship as a formal process for on-boarding new staff. There is a lot that can go wrong in a mentoring relationship. Some of the more common ones are: mentors who don't want to be mentors; abuse of power by the mentor; a true mismatch between the mentor and mentee; and unclear expectations for both.

It is very important to have an actual written plan for the mentoring process and that both participants have a clear understanding of that plan. The plan should include some measurable goals/competencies outlined for the mentee and defined expectations for the mentor.

Periodic meetings with both mentor/mentee by their manager should occur. These should be fairly frequent early in the process and then can be stretched out as the process progress. This will also depend on whether this relationship is short-term (such as during an orientation period) or on-going.

More than happy to schedule a call to discuss further.

I need to fire an engineer at my startup for poor performance but he goes on holidays from Saturday. Should I do it now or wait until he gets back?

Performance issues need to be addressed as soon as they are identified. I would not wait. They also need to be carefully documented.

I would have all supporting documentation in hand before you have this discussion.

How do we develop a small-project management workflow, or hire someone to develop it for us?

I don't know how much your workflows vary from project to project which may have some impact on the best way to develop this, but a good starting approach could be to analyze the current workflow(s) that you are using now and then document best practices based on that as well as incorporating research-based best practices into your workflow(s) depending on they type of workflow that needs developed. Checklists, templates, etc. could be developed to assist your staff based on this analysis.

Happy to discuss further. I have developed many processes and project plans for IT related processes in the Healthcare sector. Steve

I've worked with Steve for over 7 yrs and leadership style created one of the best work culture environments I have worked in. His expertise in instructional design and training management is superior.

I have worked for many managers over the years of my career, but few have had the vision and skill that Steve has. Steve has developed the field of Technology Education in Healthcare virtually single handedly at Duke Health System. Steve's computer & data expertise, and nursing experience uniquely qualifies him to guide huge projects, such as Duke's Epic training of more than 60,000 people, successfully. Steve has an unteachable ability to pull the best from the people who work for him. I would heartily recommend Steve for any level management.
