When I join a new-to-me company,
I often search for a mentor
within the organization.
I’m not looking
for a mentor
in EVERYTHING.
I want to connect
with someone
who knows the political
and working environment
within the company.
That’s it.
I don’t need
that person
to show me
how to
cook dinner
or how to
be a good person
or teach me
to use a new phone.
Mentors aren’t supposed
to be
mentors in EVERYTHING.
They have one specific area
of expertise
and that’s it.
Multiple areas
require multiple mentors.
Don’t expect your mentor
to cover everything.
