A buddy was complaining
bitterly
about her mentor.
I asked her
if there was anything
she admired
about her mentor.
She struggled
to come up with an answer,
finally saying
her mentor was successful.
I then asked her
if she would want to achieve success
using her mentor’s strategies.
She admitted
she thought her mentor’s strategies
were unethical.
We are heavily influenced
by our mentors.
That’s one of the reasons
we partner with them.
Ensure you admire
your mentor’s strategies.
Those strategies
are likely to become
yours.
