You can find participants who have gone through the development of self managed teams. Reverse mentoring flips the conventional top-down learning relationship on its head. This is senior staff learning from fresh young junior staff. For those who have been in the business a while, the thought of being taught by people with little company experience may sound absurd, even offensive. But with technology and diversity advancing so rapidly, those in the latter stretches of their career may not be able to effectively take advantage of the latest digital and social technology. And learning from young people is a simple, cost-effective way to fill in that knowledge gap.

Good luck for you

Learning from mentee is pivotal to the favorable outcome of a negotiated mode of working. Mentors are required to acquire some prerequisite skills including the abilities to discuss and cooperate in groups and speculate on experience-based learning in order to collaborate more adequately in the shared decision-making process. Instructors can acknowledge including a concise training block at the outset of the course, integrated with periodic sessions focusing on specialized learning strategies pertinent to the tasks in hand at the time of the course.

I am a right participant for you since I have clothe myself in the attires of both mentee and mentor.

The influence of mentors on mentees is immense and is likely to form a template for a mentee.

As a mentee, I was fortunate to have been mentored by very knowledgeable scholars with remarkable behavioral traits. I was instructed with the ideals of hard work, dedication, punctuality and more importantly, humility. I was always motivated to achieve greater heights, even than that of my mentors... Sailing higher... 'beyond the sky is your limit' was a perpetual ingredient in the instruction I received from my closest mentor.

Now as a mentor, I impart the same values I was taught to my mentees. But even deeper than my mentors, I teach my mentees how to eat 'solid meals' academically by hooking them up early in my research projects for them to speedily find their feet in the academia. With the great mentorship training I am imparting to my mentees, I am convinced that one day I would be proud of my mentees who would certainly sail higher than any imaginable height in the academia.

Thank you to those colleagues who have commented and provided references in response to my question.

To be more precise, I am in search of an organization which practices reverse mentoring. I would like to connect with the gatekeeper of such an organization (for example, an HR or business leader) who would provide me with access to participants for my study.

What does reverse mentoring mean?

Reverse mentoring is a relationship in which the younger, junior less experienced person acts as a mentor to share expertise with an older, senior, more experienced colleague who is the mentee.

Sounds very odd to me.
