Global Mentorship

From: Traditional approach

To: Virtual mentorship

Building Tomorrow’s leaders with Hybrid Mentor Model at scale.

Global Mentor Network

What Krach pioneered in business and higher education, he is now applying to developing the next generation of transformational leaders by building the Virtual Mentor Network. Seeing a shortage of role models, Krach is using technology to tap the insights of great leaders and mentor at scale. The principles of creating networks and categories from his previous endeavors are the formula for building the ultimate pay-it-forward category. This could be Krach’s most transformative and profound venture yet.

Lessons from Global Mentor Network

WE NEED TRUSTED TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERS TO TACKLE BIG CHALLENGES

We live in a world of accelerating change and increasing complexity. A world where democratic values are eroding and societies are fractured. This is why now, more than ever before, we need smart, principled, transformational leaders who can dream big dreams, challenge the status quo, and motivate and empower others to take on all those big problems and solve them. In ways that inspire nobility in all of us. Ways that will improve quality of life and standards of living for everyone on the planet.

MENTORSHIP IS THE KEY TO BUILDING TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP SKILLS

What’s been going on for thousands of years, and is a foundation of human development? It’s mentorship. Mentorship is the best way to learn leadership, but great mentors are hard to find. Experienced leaders have a lot of great lessons to share, but one-on-one mentoring is time consuming and has limited impact. New technologies are enabling solutions to mentorship at scale.

ONE MENTOR IS NOT ENOUGH — WE ALL NEED A MENTOR MATRIX

No one is good at everything. So instead of trying to find a perfect mentor, create a “”Hybrid Mentor Matrix”” match mentors to the issues you need guidance on. Create a grid with a mentor for each column, and a different leadership characteristic for each row. For each mentor, mark the issues or characteristics they’re best at. Now you have a good idea of who to talk with about what.

IT’S ABOUT THE FAILURES, NOT JUST THE SUCCESSES

They may be harder to talk about, but mistakes and failures are more valuable to learn from than successes. Learning by OPE (Other People’s Experiences), especially by your mentor’s mistakes, can be a great shortcut to wisdom.
