Mentoring Exercise 5

You have been approached to be a mentor/advisory board member for a non-profit organisation. You meet up with the Founder and feel energised - you immediate answer is a resounding "yes". You are also swayed by the membership of a prominent mentor who is a well recognised figure. You convince yourself that you are in very good company.

However, as time progresses, you discover that you are not regularly updated with the organisation's progress and your membership does not create much bearing with the organisation's activities and direction.

Do you stay? Or were you never meant to be part of that organisation?

Should you set up a competiting organisation since as a mentor, you are highly regarded by business professionals and political heavy-weights?

Discuss the various ways in which you should set out your decision-making matrix.
