Abstract
Research has shown that organizations that learn, are adaptable to market forces, and provide opportunities for leadership development may have the best chance for long-term success. Organizational learning depends on knowledge sharing between seasoned leaders and emerging leaders. This knowledge is lost through employee attrition if not captured. When used purposefully and intentionally, mentoring can be an effective tool to retain emerging leaders and transfer knowledge. When knowledge acquisition, transfer, and retention are given organizational priority through a formal mentoring program, emerging leaders are provided a forum for professional development. Emerging leaders recognize that they are valued, limiting attrition and encouraging innovation and organizational longevity.
