I think the mentoring idea smacks of elitism. "We're better than you, and this is how you should do things." Zoe "Poor, Edmund W" Edmund.W.Poor@abc.com wrote:I like the new idea of a "mentor" better than the old idea of "this guy needs to be banned".
I suggest that mentors apply a 7-to-1 ratio of praise to criticism. That is, "I liked this" "That was good" "Thanks for mentioning X", etc. seven times, followed by "Oops! That's not how we do it" once.
