Dramatic Question Answered

Title/Captions: General Electric Example.

Narration: According to an article by James Young, General

Electric is often credited as the first organization to take a more
formalized approach to reverse mentoring. Jack Welch, the CEO at
the time instructed 500 of his top executives to pair up with a
young, technically-inclined mentor in order to learn more about
how the internet worked. To ensure this radical approach was
accepted among senior professionals, he also took on a young
mentor of his own. Since then, other companies have adopted the
same approach. Jack Welch, who in his inimitable style described it
as “tipping the organization upside down.”

Title/Captions: Reverse Mentoring Conclusions.

Narration: Many of us know what traditional mentoring entails.

This video covered a new way of doing things. Hopefully, we now
know the new concept of reverse mentoring, which is when a junior
team member offers advice, guidance, and assistance to a senior
member. For Julie Nyanjom, a lecturer in the School of Business and
Law at Edith Cowan University in Australia, the greater adoption of
reverse mentoring is a reflection of how learning is changing. Which
she is quoted saying, “Lifelong learning means people will be learning
new things all through their lives, regardless of their chronological
age or status within the organization. Just like other spheres of life,
the mentoring practice should be inclusive.”
