Your Ideal Mentor

[EricH]

Let’s assume, for a minute, that your team is looking for a mentor. With even some of the best teams out there looking for mentors, I think that's a pretty reasonable assumption. Setting aside the specific area of the team that you want to be mentored for a minute...

--What qualities and/or characteristics are you looking for?
--How involved do you want the mentor to be: doing for you, doing with you, or watching you do the work, or somewhere in the middle?
--How would you deal with schedule limitations of both the team and the mentor?




Please note: This is about you and your team and your team’s method of operations. This is not about X powerhouse is doing it wrong--that's because they simply do it in a way that is not your way.
