| Summary: | Filling the pipeline to the community college presidency with diverse and qualified candidates who mirror the demographics of the student population and who are prepared to lead amidst the complexity of the 21st century institution can be accomplished through a variety of strategies. This study focuses on the impact of current community college presidents' mentoring activities on the career advancement of their proteges---in whom they see the potential to fulfill the requirements for community college leadership as a president. The profile of contextual factors (age, gender, ethnicity, geographic location and duration of the mentoring relationship) and mentoring activities developed through this study reveals that current community college presidents are involved in guiding their proteges by teaching the job, providing challenge, and teaching the politics of the job. They are helping their proteges through career help, protection and sponsorship, and they are encouraging their proteges through career counseling, friendship and demonstrated trust. Of the contextual factors and mentoring activities, the two which are most significant in predicting protege career advancement are the duration of the mentoring relationship and the teaching of the politics of the job. Implications and recommendations derived from this study include training and development of mentor/protege relationships within the community college system for better awareness and understanding of the mentoring activities and continued emphasis on increased mentoring opportunities for minorities. | |
