- Willingness to volunteer - Mentee and mentor take part in the program voluntarily and recognize the personal benefit / value for both sides of the tandem
- Independence - There is no relationship of dependency between mentee and mentor, i.e. no direct or indirect employment or care relationship
- Defined period - The mentoring relationship exists for a defined period of time, but can also be continued informally beyond that time.
- Personal contact - Getting to know each other personally is of great importance for the success of the mentoring relationship. The meetings can be supplemented by e-mail correspondence, telephone calls or, if necessary, Skype contacts, etc.
- Confidentiality - The mentoring discussions take place in a protected environment and are to be treated as strictly confidential by the participants.
- Commitment -The binding and reliable handling of appointments and agreements is an essential basic requirement for a successful mentoring relationship.
- Expectations and agreement - At the beginning of the mentoring partnership, the conditions of the cooperation (e.g. contact, feedback, confidentiality) between mentor and mentee should be clarified, and the expectations and role concepts should be clearly communicated. Personal goals for the mentoring period and possible topics and issues should be discussed.
- Mentoring as a process - Mentoring should be viewed as a process. Mutual openness is necessary for the development of plans or solutions during the mentoring process. In some cases the process may not reach a conclusion per se but the honinig of individual perspectives or the development of a strategy to enable an individual to embark on subsequent steps are also valuable results.
