Re: What constitutes Mentoring another team?
My thoughts: Mentoring is a personal relationship. To mentor someone requires immediacy and continuity. Teachers are not automatically mentors. Taking responsibility for a bureaucratic task does not automatically make one a mentor. Giving a lecture, showing a process, explaining rules...none of those are what being a mentor is about.
Helping someone to grow and learn, providing a consistent model for behavior, giving someone the opportunity to develop and practice new skills...that's what a mentor does.
I think mentoring another team requires becoming a partner with that team and getting them to the point where the partnership is no longer necessary.
