Mentoring

DMC – Anja Heck

I always remember my first boss with a mentoring style, long time ago but having a significant impact on how I see work and being in charge of a young team.

He was the first to entrusting me with challenges and important management tasks when he was travelling, and it made me so proud and valued, I was just in my twenties.

So today, I also use trust and new challenges but at the same time, covering my young team’s backs whenever they need me, and I share my experiences and stories about my failures, learning curves and also, disappointments and where not to go again. I also like to create new opportunities for them that they can handle and have the experience of mastery, become confident and believe in themselves more and more after successfully managing tough jobs.

Mentoring for me is a joint journey to grow and succeed, and a joint experience of success that brings the team closer together every day. I also think today’s people management should go more into the direction of “People Mentoring”.
