• W908560093 abstract "EXECUTIVE SUMMARY * CPA professionals at all stages in their career can benefit professionally and personally by learning to cultivate mentoring relationships. * A single mentor might not provide all the support you need. By developing multiple mentoring relationships, CPA professionals can find social support through step-ahead mentors and career support through more-senior personnel. * Seek out opportunities to initiate relationships with potential mentors or role models. For example, set a goal to become more acquainted with higher-ranking managers and partners at company events or meetings. * Let your mentor, or potential mentor, know the steps you are taking to become an improved professional. For example, demonstrate your leadership skills by being a team player and leader, avoiding the negatives and displaying a willingness to learn. ********** [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Mentoring relationships are critical for success in the accounting profession, yet many CPAs overlook the benefits of a mentor/protege connection. A mentor can provide guidance on tackling challenging assignments or insights into managing time commitments. In addition, mentors can recommend proteges for important and highly visible projects, sponsor proteges in obtaining promotions and protect them from organizational politics. At the same time, mentors serve as role models and provide proteges with support, acceptance and personal counseling. Many organizations facilitate the mentoring process by formally matching potential mentors with potential proteges. In fact, larger firms use highly structured formal programs to ensure that all employees have access to mentoring relationships. However, formally assigned mentoring relationships often provide limited benefits. Sometimes formally assigned mentors perform the duty as one more item on a to-do list. True mentoring requires time, effort, interest in the protege and a willingness to give of oneself. If your firm does not provide a formal mentoring program, or if your formally assigned mentor does not adequately support your career development or is unable to serve as a true confidant, the following eight suggestions can help accountants at all career stages expand their mentoring network and enjoy the benefits of successful mentoring relationships. 1. MULTIPLE MENTORS A single mentor might not provide all of the support you need. In fact, many professionals find that having more than one mentor is very productive. For example, a junior-level female accountant might rely on a senior-level male manager to guide her in developing financial reporting expertise. At the same time, she might discuss more personal issues, such as work/family concerns, with a senior-level female manager from a different functional area. In a similar veto, a junior-level accountant might have a mentor who is one level ahead in the organizational hierarchy (that is, a step-ahead mentor) and another mentor who is at a more-senior level. Many professionals find that step-ahead mentors are better at providing social support for challenges, while more-senior personnel are better at providing career support. 2. DON'T WAIT--INITIATE Potential mentors are generally people you aspire to be. If someone at your firm or company strikes you as a role model, take advantage of opportunities to socialize with that person. Be willing to discuss a wide range of topics. Ask potential mentors questions such as: What do you now know that you wish someone had told you when you started in the profession? What obstacles did you have to overcome to get where you are today? How did you obtain important assignments within the firm or company? What new skills did you acquire along the way that helped facilitate your career development? When building relationships with potential mentors, try to be transparent, yet reasonably cautious. …" @default.
