10 Principles (1-5)
 

1	Mentoring requires a trusting, confidential relationship based on mutual respect.
2	Mentoring involves a clearly bounded relationship that is close and uncoerced (unlike friendship or parenting).
3	Mentoring involves a definite time commitment.
4	A mentoring relationship is planned for enhancing specific growth goals of a mentee; not for organizational requirements such as employee evaluation.
5	The purpose of mentoring must be mutually established by the mentor and mentee with clearly defined goals/ outcomes.
