良いメンタリングに関わること
✓ GUIDE, don't just give answers → help them learn to think/solve (teach fishing, not give
fish); ask questions that lead them to insights
✓ Share KNOWLEDGE and experience → explain the why, context, trade-offs, lessons learned
✓ Be PATIENT and supportive → they're learning; create a safe space to ask and make mistakes
✓ Give constructive FEEDBACK → specific, kind, growth-oriented; review their work helpfully
✓ Encourage and build CONFIDENCE → recognize progress; help with imposter syndrome
効果的なメンタリング実践
