Employee vision is usually associated with the final phase of mentor-mentee involvement. However, from the perspective of career and educational planning, important concerns can certainly be raised about the future in the initial and middle as well as in the later stages of mentoring.
Although some of the decisions and actions that result from early interactions will clearly have short-term and limited agendas, some plans will also involve the gradual building of the solid foundation on which longer-term objectives depend for completion. Mentors should therefore consider issues connected to the employee vision dimension as a relevant topic for critical reflection during any phase of the mentoring relationship.
