Dynamic
The Dynamic dimension addresses how relational power is situated between the mentor and the mentee. On one end of the continuum is a hierarchical dynamic where the mentor utilizes their power to maintain a formal, pragmatic connection with the mentee. The power distance based on status between the mentor and mentee is reinforced. Conversely, the relational dynamic is where relationship building is emphasized to form collegial, authentic connections to help mentees feel comfortable and minimize the power difference between the mentor and the mentee.
