Learn how to clearly establish with your mentor a set of expectations and essential commitments. Problems in mentoring relationships most often occur because of misunderstandings and lack of explicit communication. Some people find it helpful to specify a mutual agreement about their respective roles and responsibilities. One method of doing this is the use of a written mentoring plan or set of core expectations. Mentor and student can use the written agreement as the basis of a discussion to acknowledge they have established a mentoring relationship and to review the responsibilities of both mentor and mentee.
