The CEO proposes a mentoring program to the general manager to help new management recruits. The general manager has doubts about taking it on due to being busy but the CEO convinces them of the benefits. The mentoring program would be voluntary and involve mentors from separate departments training and providing guidance to supervisors with the goal of retaining and developing them into senior management. The benefits outlined include developing mentoring skills, gaining knowledge of other roles, and satisfaction from developing people. An evaluation program would measure performance and gather feedback to determine if the mentoring program is successful. The general manager agrees it could be a great idea.
