Mentoring Some Final Thoughts

• Leadership is about doing the right thing
• Management is about doing things right
• Health professionals in management have the
  opportunity through their mission of influencing
  health policy to facilitate mentoring in all
  areas of the healthcare workforce.
• Furthermore
• as managers and leaders of the healthcare
  workforce, ACHSE members form the nucleus of the
  management team to influence the strategic role
  that mentoring can have across all healthcare
  sectors.
• Your mission (should you choose to accept it) is
  to discuss, debate and raise awareness of the
  role of mentoring for future healthcare workforce
  members
