| Description | Mentoring is most often seen as an organizational good—a "win–win" for both mentors and mentees where mentors provide "young adults with career-enhancing functions" while mentors gain "satisfaction in enabling a younger colleague to learn how to navigate in the organizational world". Utilizing a critical management studies (CMS) lens on mainstream mentoring research allows for creative possibilities and engaging in a dialog which questions fundamental assumptions within the existing literature such as the "subordinate status of participants as its central warrant". This chapter seeks to destabilize and problematize mentoring at this moment because it is necessary. By disrupting the pattern of recycled power relationships embedded within traditional views, a CMS perspective argues that mentoring has the possibility of having emancipatory qualities in a societal context where abuses of power continue. While global capitalism doesn't give a damn about the people or the natural environment, place-based civic activism is concerned about the health and safety of people and places.
