Abstract

This study investigates the impact of mentorship on leadership development within a large organization. The research provides valuable insights for the organization as a whole; to foster an improved culture and understanding of mentorship for those wanting to grow into leadership roles. While there is a common assumption that mentorship contributes to leadership growth in organizations, a deeper understanding of how specifically mentorship impacts leadership development is needed. Therefore, this study utilizes a qualitative method of inquiry to capture the perspectives of organizational leaders. Investigating the experiences of leaders allows those to gain a deeper understanding of the commonalities in career development and growth. Keywords: mentor, mentee, leadership, leadership development, growth, organization, formal, informal, effective mentorship
