Strive for Mediocrity

"Strive for mediocrity" probably isn't the advice you want your company's mentors giving to new hires. But without a proper understanding of mentorship, your mentors may—wittingly or unwittingly—be setting future talent up for years of apathy and mediocrity. So, take a moment during the final few days of National Mentoring Month to check out this mentor-inspired episode of The Energy Detox, which covers: 1 - The key distinctions between mentoring, advising, and coaching; 2 - Why consciously choosing to wear your mentor, advisor, or coach hat matters; and 3 - How quantifying the value of "squishy" things like mentorship and in-person work can create measurable advantages for you and your organization.
