Mentoring is a vital component of personal and professional development.
However, when not managed properly, it can lead to dependency, where mentees rely too heavily on their mentors. The goal of mentoring should be to empower mentees to become independent and self-sufficient.
Mentors can strike a balance between providing support and fostering independence through Autonomy, Curiosity, Empowerment.
This approach not only helps mentees grow into self-sufficient individuals but also prepares them to mentor others, creating a cycle of continuous development and empowerment.
