Preventive Mentoring: The Trustee's Quiet Risk-Reduction Tool

From a trustee’s vantage point, many succession risks don’t start with documents or structures.

They start earlier when beneficiaries haven’t had a protected place to develop judgment, self-regulation, and relational capacity.

When that development is delayed, trustees inherit downstream issues that look like leadership or governance problems.

Preventive mentoring works upstream. It strengthens decision-making before authority, control, or roles are on the table. Used well, it helps trustees:

 • Quietly strengthen infrastructure

 • Lower fiduciary risk

 • Support continuity
