A coworker was also targeted 2 weeks after he hired on. His behaviors suggest psychopathy - found in 1% of the population.

It is such a great opportunity to share what you have learned with someone in the earlier stages of their career. <BR/><BR/>The only drawback might be when the mentor overwhelms the mentee trying (usually unknowingly) to make them into their own image. I have seen lawyers do this. You know - my way is the one right way. That is not helpful.<BR/><BR/>I would urge anyone who is asked to mentor to take the opportunity. In a good two way mentoring relationship the personal learning can be huge!Jackie Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01561693922454971156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558939360732260529.post-76444943444625085632008-07-23T11:04:00.000-04:002008-07-23T11:04:00.000-04:00Terrific post!

This process is an integral part of some fields (such as academia), where mentors take great pride in the achievement of their students, and even list successful graduates in their own CV's. Even in the academy, though, some few small men and women can't suppress their own fears and jealosies and see these rising stars as competition.<BR/><BR/>How much better to see them as legacies. Truth: no one ever lifts up another person without lifting herself up, as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
