Abstract
Instead of embarking on an odyssey for the perfect mentor, individuals should pursue a strategy of building a network of developmental relationships. In this note, we explore the process by which such a network can be established and cultivated: (1) What functions can developmental relationships serve? (2) How are these relationships formed and maintained? (3) With whom in an organization can an individual establish such relationships?; and (4) What are some of the special challenges those in the minority face in building these relationships? In summary, we offer guidelines for building a constellation of developmental relationships.
