I am talking about a situation which has different reactions for different scenarios. In case in a job, when a junior becomes boss of his current boss, the current boss will feel disparate.
When your child becomes bigger and better than you, you become immensely proud.
Taken over maybe a wrong word, but that’s what I have observed in three of my mentoring situations.
I am not in the first situation, but definitely in the second. And to make it more real, I have done some revolutionary steps.
I offered virtual adoption and two of them consented to a father- daughter adoption. And I am immensely proud of their achievements.
The third, I offered reverse mentoring. And again I am immensely proud.
In fact everything is based on trust. When you establish complete trust, there’s no barrier. Things work out for the best

KJ…you are absolutely right when you say trust is the base of any relationship…. but establishing that trust takes some time….it’s a bit long journey but once established by both parties it works out fine. As you told then everything is crystal clear….but the time taken is crucial too I think.

After my retirement, I gain great satisfaction from watching younger people succeed taking some of my counsel.
