Getting summer internships/ projects without contact or recommendation was difficult during my college days (the 1990s). I was fortunate to get the support of kind-hearted individuals to get my BE and MBA final year projects in premier Public Sector Undertakings. Starting from my initial days of corporate life, I readily obliged to guide/mentor students in projects and conduct orientation sessions for new joiners. This gave me a sense of giving back for the support I received from others during my college days. Two years ago, I was mentoring a group of college students on a feasibility study for setting up a sales academy. I found their working style to be different and faced challenges in driving the project. Adding to my discomfort was the tardy progress of the study. Keeping aside my worries, I read an article on Generational diversity which gave me an Aha moment. I decided to change the gears and got prepared to be Reverse mentored by the students. I was amazed with the qualities of the Gen Z who understand and execute fast, just needs to know What and not How, leverages internet to the hilt and comes up with out-of-the-box solutions. I decided to change my working style to suit them by unlearning & learning. Yes, the magic worked. I realized the power of reverse mentoring at work and am more curious to learn from reverse mentors. What’s your reverse mentoring story?
