Re: What constitutes Mentoring another team?

I am realizing that what I have been doing the past few years is probably not mentoring, but rather just trying to be helpful.

I am grasping at a "label."

I'm not answering the questions about gearbox math, but could swap in various other topics.

NEHO anyone?
My questions in this thread aren't designed to create a cohesive definition for mentorship, but rather to make people think.

The original poster is asking for help from people in drawing a line in what appears to be a very grey area. Everyone seems to have their own "line" for this sort of thing.

I would encourage everyone to think about their personal responses to the original post. While they're doing that, I'm trying to make sure they have as much trouble as possible drawing that line. Thinking is good for us.
