The New Relationship Between Mentor and Mentee feat. Giorgia Favaretto-Illig

Behind every great supervisor is a brilliant mentor that helped them learn the ropes. In previous episodes of Wisco Weekly, the power that mentorship has on shepherding new leaders in automotive has been discussed in passing with various guests. In this episode, host Dennis Wisco welcomes automotiveMastermind's Vice President, Giorgia Favaretto-Illig, to delve deeper into the phenomena of mentorship, and how companies are re-prioritizing creating space for mentor-mentee partnerships in order to bring up their next generation of leaders. This episode was recorded at the National Automobile Dealer's Association Conference at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
