Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The role of a mentor in this situation would involve developing a struggling employee through coaching, sponsorship, and challenging assignments. This would help to build Nina's assertiveness and knowledge of who to talk to when she has questions. The other options, such as promoting Nina or assigning multiple protégés, may not be necessary or feasible at this point. Implementing a formal mentoring program or administering 360-degree feedback could be helpful, but these would be separate actions from Charles' specific role as Nina's mentor.
