Reverse Mentorship and its Impact on Leadership

Reverse mentorship is a practice where a junior team member mentors a senior staff member, often from an underrepresented group. It helps create better leaders by fostering curiosity, learning, and a focus on growth. The practice involves setting up a safe environment for vulnerable conversations, discussing topics like psychological safety and inclusive leadership. By amplifying the voices of underrepresented individuals and valuing diverse perspectives, organizations can break through the homogeneity of decision-making tables.
