Answer 1

Answer:

cultivation

Explanation:

In the cultivation phase, the mentor should provide the mentor with strategies to assist in their development and growth in the organization. The mentor can establish these growth opportunities by providing advice on the ease and difficulties he faces, as well as recognizing the skills of his mentor and, where possible, providing feedback so that independence is gradually achieved. Analysis, evaluation and review of work and incentives are also crucial practices for the effectiveness of the cultivation phase.
