Mentor Leadership Training Course

You chose:

answer d "Anne, you sound sort of lonely. You just need to make more of an effort. Just go up to people and say ‘Hi’. If they are afraid of you, then you need to take the lead. You can’t just sit around feeling sorry for yourself."



 

This is NOT the correct answer.

Here the mentor does not remember to use the DO IT! strategy.

In this edoit.htmlample, the mentor:

  • does not show that he or she cares about Anne
  • does not ask questions to help Anne describe the problem and figure out why it is a problem
  • does not encourage Anne to outline different ways to solve the problem herself
  • reacts quickly and tells Anne what to do without understanding why Anne is having trouble making friends
  • criticizes Anne.
