Mentoring and coaching are important roles for supervisors in an era of team science. Mentoring involves offering encouragement and sharing knowledge to assist mentees' careers, while coaching helps mentees discover their own paths to goals through questioning. Effective mentors and coaches adapt their approach based on a mentee's needs. When incorporating mentoring into team science, it is important to consider threats to individuals' identities and statuses. Hiring should evaluate candidates' values, performance abilities, and behavioral tendencies. Pre-tenure agreements can clarify expectations for early career scientists' participation in team projects. Motivating team identity involves finding where personal and institutional priorities overlap.

The next time you consider mentoring someone, would you be willing to sit down first to explore whether you are a good match? What kind of conversation would you have to determine if the relationship would be a good fit?
Questions for Mentees What do you want out of a mentoring relationship? What goals have you set for yourself? Long term? Short term? Where do you want to focus now? How do you learn best? How do you like to be challenged? How frequently do you want to meet? What happens if one of us needs to cancel? If one of us does not show up for an appointment? Etc?
A Great Match is Important What qualities in a mentee will bring out the best qualities in you as a mentor? What 4 characteristics define you best in the role of mentor?

A coach helps hold mentee accountable to themselves through continued interactions and challenging them as needed. Helps client discover their own path to their desired goal or objective (doesnt tell) Invites employee to come up with his/her own thoughts, ideas and strategies guided by powerful questions (i.e. What would happen if the barriers were not there? What does success look like? How do you see yourself tackling this issue? etc) Helps the employee develop clarity about what he/she wants to accomplish Helps guide development of action plans
Mentor/Coach It is entirely possible to be (or to have) a mentor/coach This is a person who can successfully meld the two approaches and can provide one or the other depending on the needs and issues of the mentee
Choosing the Best Approach In what situations would your preferred approach be: Telling someone how to handle the situation Sharing experiences you have had in the past and advising several options for approaching a problem Ask a series of questions that will help the individual self-discover the best solution to the issue

What do you do when you make a mistake in your work? Describe your process for addressing such situations. What steps do you take to stay current with scientific trends and advances?
Interviewing and Hiring: Performance-based questions Describe a project that you led that had a tight deadline and its outcome. One project of great importance to our team is..

Practice Think of one thing that would be really important for you to learn when considering whether to have someone join your team what would you ask them to get that information? Groups of four Ask the question to a couple people Did you get the information you were after? Share with the group what you hoped to learn Any ideas for improving the question?
