Abstract
It is widely accepted that young women have few opportunities to receive effective mentoring, because: (1) few females occupy executive positions; and (2) women cannot identify with males. Results presented here do not support these assumptions. Effectiveness appears to be determined by functions performed, not sex or identification.Keywords
