The purpose of this research paper is to discuss women’s experiences with mentoring and the conditions that promote and support positive mentoring outcomes. Data were gathered using qualitative semistructured interviews with women who had a minimum of five years management experience. Mentoring structure, relational connection between mentor and mentee, and perceived value of the mentor within the organization form a successful mentoring framework for women. Informal mentoring situations were identified as most valuable. To more effectively pair mentors and mentees, organizations should consider using a diagnostic instrument and mentees should be surveyed to gain an understanding of their goals.
