Why a personality match with a mentor is vital
It’s not about just selecting someone who’s good at their job. Your personalities need to be compatible as well or there’s a good chance clashes will come about.
Of course, you need someone strong enough to speak up, regardless of feelings and emotions. I have a powerful personality, so I need to have people who will tell me if I am being unreasonable in some circumstances and, in others, when I need to push harder.
