By fostering creative thinking, reverse mentoring encourages innovative solutions by combining younger employees' fresh ideas with seasoned leaders' strategic insights. It preserves intellectual heritage by facilitating a two-way transfer of knowledge—where juniors share insights into modern tools, and seniors impart wisdom and organizational values. The process also enhances critical thinking by challenging traditional mindsets, pushing both parties to re-evaluate existing processes and adopt new approaches. Furthermore, creative communication is developed as juniors teach senior leaders to leverage modern tools like social media, visual storytelling, and digital collaboration platforms for effective engagement. Through reverse mentoring, senior leaders gain adaptability, digital literacy, and fresh perspectives, while junior employees develop leadership skills, confidence, and a deeper understanding of organizational strategies, fostering mutual growth and innovation.
The enthusiastic Q&A participation showcased students' keen interest in expert Lecture session and Reverse mentoring helps students build leadership skills and confidence while sharing modern insights, enabling mutual learning and personal growth.
