Example text
Unconsciously, you may find yourself giving up some of your time to these newbies whom you see as needing the same kind of early mentoring that you initially provided to your protégé. Your mentee may also be networking within the organization, building relationships with others who can help in areas in which you are not strong. You may still have something to offer your mentee but it may be not as significant, so time spent with you will diminish. Neither one of you may want to admit a lack of need for the other, so you may continue to meet.
If you give the impression that you believe you can just wing things, then, your protégé is likely to figure that’s all right—and he or she will do it too. Of course, not everything will go as expected—there will even be days when nothing goes well. Your protégé will watch to see how you behave in the face of problems. This is not the time to lose your temper or seem out of control. It is the time to seem prepared even if you aren’t, smile, and get through the situation. In other words, don’t let your protégé see you sweat.
Rather than be themselves, many people have developed the art of appearing to be themselves, which doesn’t fool people for long. Not only is authenticity a value you want your protégés to emulate, it is one that you truly need yourself as a leader if you are to achieve strong relationships in your work. You don’t need to share highly personal information but you want to demonstrate both an interest in your associates’ lives outside of the work environment and a willingness to share information about your family and friends—even your dog.
