Participating in a mentoring relationship requires the work and time of both the mentor and protg involved. The mentee and mentor can follow four phases when working with each other to achieve the best outcomes for both parties: initiation (6-12 months) where expectations are discussed, goals and objectives are set, and a plan is developed; cultivation (2-5 years), where the plan is implemented and assistance is received for achievement with professional development goals and expectations; separation (6-24 months following relationship change), where the relationship changes from protg to peer, a job changes, independence occurs, or someone moves away; and redefinition (follows separation) where the relationship is redefined and either continues or slowly dissolves over time.
