M

any people have the feeling that

they are permanently struggling

to master the challenges of their

job: dealing with a constantly

increasing workload, satisfying

the competing demands of their

colleagues, learning new skills and

setting priorities when all tasks seem to be

equally urgent.

If this is how you feel, you might want to

consider finding a mentor: someone who

can use their experience to help you. In

our Careers & Management feature (p. 66),

Steve Flinders looks at the history of mentor-

ing and at its different forms, including “com-

munity mentoring” and “reverse mentoring”.

Steve also provides valuable advice on how

to find a suitable mentor and how to organize

your mentoring schedule.

One year after our special language test

“No greenwash!”, we once again put the

spotlight on environmental issues. Our

Global Business feature (p. 14) looks at how

firms can reduce their global footprint, at the

battles over water resources and at the link

between development policies and the

environment. Our Intercultural article

(p. 24) focuses on the environmental chal-

lenges facing New Zealand, and we look at the

topic of green finance (p. 50).
