When Tyree Elliott was hired as a public relations advisor to the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, he welcomed the help he received from Rae Rogers, a senior manager. Rogers was able to show Elliott the places where trouble was likely to occur, the likes and dislikes of the CEO, and how to do the best job possible. Which of the following statements describes what was going on in this situation?

a. Elliott was given no training at all.
b. Elliott was assuming the role of an apprentice.
c. Rogers was using off-the-job training techniques.
d. Rogers was assuming the role of a mentor.

Respuesta :

Answer:

d. Rogers was assuming the role of a mentor.

Explanation:

Remember, the term mentor is usually assigned to someone who is more experienced, and who provides valuable and trusted advice to someone with lesser experience.

Based on this description, and the fact that we are told that "Rogers was able to show Elliott the places where trouble was likely to occur," makes Roger fit the role of a mentor.
