Abstract

Is mentoring art or is it science? The authors of this chapter define how art and science are relevant to mentoring theory. They suggest that it must be a balance of both art and science and note that, like all relationships, each mentor/protégé relationship will require a unique balance.

Keywords: mentor, mentee, mentoring, protégé
