When people think of mentoring, they often think of a one-on-one relationship between a more experienced executive and a young upstart.

But mentoring, like the rest of the work world, has changed over the past few decades.

Instead of trying to find that one perfect mentor, think about having a personal board of directors who can advise you throughout your career.

Build a cadre of people you can turn to for advice when you need it.

Mentoring is both a long-term and short-term arrangement, so nurture relationships with people whose perspectives you respect so that you have a diverse group of people you can call on now, and in the future.

Today’s Management Tip was adapted from “Demystifying Mentoring” by Amy Gallo.
