Abstract
When we talked to people about the problems they encountered with mentoring and sponsoring, many of them described experiences which we recognized as bullying. Bullying is deliberate and repeated misuse of real or perceived power. Sponsors are in a position of influence and power, and mentors may learn information from their confidential discussions that they choose to use to the detriment of their mentee. Both sponsors and mentors can morph into bullies.
