Abstract / Description

The article supports that mentoring, as a lifelong changing process, needs to take into account today's academic knowledge workers as continuous learners. Apart from associating academic mentoring with organisational learning, mentors should also reflect on the nature of intelligence(s). The mentoring process, as facilitator of personal and professional development in Higher Education, needs to build on Logical Intelligence (IQ) but most importantly on Emotional Intelligence (EQ) and Spiritual Intelligence (SQ). However these approaches are not a panacea for all pitfalls in the mentoring process because there are also relationships and communication barriers that might have both intended and unintended consequences for a successful outcome.
