Taylor Lindstrom writes about how mentors can help with career development and Kathleen Pytleski, senior vice president of Mentium (www.menttium.com), a mentor-mentee matching company, recommends that employees find a mentor who has the skills that they may not already have. «Look for someone who has a skill set you want to develop, someone whose talents you admire. “This person’s a good leader — I want to be a good leader like that”, she says.
