Here's this week's SMDP Mentor Moment
Are you the problem?

Are you the problem?

If your intentions are good, then it means your impact will be good too. Right? Well, that’s not always how it works. You can be thoughtful, hardworking and reliable and still be in the way. Sometimes the problem is not malice or neglect by the people around you. Sometimes it’s just your over-involvement. Over-helping. Over-correcting. Wanting things to go well so badly that you start smothering the very people or processes you think you are trying to support.

Log on to the SMDP Portal to view this "Mentor Moment" and don't forget to discuss this topic with your mentor/mentee - or share this content with someone else who can benefit from it.
