Mentoring all the way

A lot of talent pool resides in most organization with no catalyst to make the positive energy flow, does that sound like something happening to you?. A mentor is someone who helps you through a process or on a more subtle note helps you understand and blow your full potential in a fairly new or unfamiliar surrounding.

I doubt if we could make rapid progress without a strong mentor by our side. I have mentored quite some in the past and have been mentored myself, one thing remains sheer talent is powerless without this subtle nature which brings you closer to the goal.

 A mathematical view is that the mentoring exists on the chart where the standard deviation is more than normal thus the difference in the present and expected is more, a mentor will not be so much of a use where the present and expected is reached, in such a situation the mentor might take the role of a competitor or a boss. A good mentor generally becomes a good boss, but the reverse may not be true.

Mentoring is a skill which is failry neglected and is done only when one is forced to.
