**** Anyone can have any view. Does not really take any skills,
of any kind, to mouth off.
But what is the value of such opinions?

I was seeing an exhibition on Napolean yesterday at National Geographic Scoeity's HQ -- how Napolean used the "Mentor" of Catholics - the Pope -- to get himself declared the Emperor of France. Later asked the Pope to step down from his position. Mentors are dangerous unless chosen wisely-- they can be like false prophets or false Gurus. One has to be very careful while choosing mentors.

" **** It ought to be apparent to anyone with half a working brain." ---- I believe the full working brain meant to say "It ought to be apparent to anyone with a half working brain." I'd think half a working brain, though it is not wholesome, is better than a brain not working because it still works, but a half working brain is dangerous. You never know when that half working brain is actually working and when it is not working. :-) :-)Humor aside, this attack of disparaging words needs to stop. It does not do anyone any good. It just aggravates personal relations. There have been so many instances of this in the past but the writers don't seem to realize when to stop.About "mentoring" the indigenous people in Assam, I am eagerly waiting to hear what Utpal Brahma has to say. From my side I'd say if mentoring is the solution, why wait for mentoring to start after "sovereignty" and not get an early start now? How come the "mentees" didn't accept it in the past and why should citizens of equal rights accept it in the future? There is something hokey and dangerous in this thought process.Dilip Deka

Power Mentoring: How Successful Mentors and Protégés Get the Most Out of Their Relationships
by Ellen Ensher and Susan Murphy
Jossey Bass, 2005
November 7, 2005
Many prominent leaders across the public and private sectors attribute their success to the strong mentoring relationships they developed in their careers. Even Bill Gates, who rose from nerdy, disheveled programmer to software company giant, benefited from an early mentoring relationship: As a student at Seattles Lakeside High School, he landed his first computer job thanks to the guidance of a high school teacher, Fred Wright. Wright also mentored Gates classmates and fellow computer club membersthree of whom went on to become programmers at Microsoft, and another, Paul Allen, who co-founded Microsoft.
In this book, management professors Ellen Ensher and Susan Murphy use Gates to explore the concept of power mentoring. Power mentoring simply means that protégés do not rely on one particular person for support, but rather strategically cultivate a variety of mentors for support and advice.
The traditional mentoring relationship in corporate America used to involve an older, wiser executive who selected a protégé of similar background and career interests. Mentor and protégé may have attended the same college or shared the same social milieu. The mentor groomed the protégé in his image, dispensing professional wisdom as well as secrets of the organization.Ensher and Murphy, who interviewed fifty leaders in a variety of industries to ensure that their study included women as well as people of color, have identified a pattern more common today. Protégés do not hesitate to ask for help and are eager to learn from others. While a privileged background certainly gives some people a boost, others in the study rose from modest beginnings and overcame obstacles to attain their current level of success.
The obvious audience for Power Mentoring is managers and professionals concerned about their own career development, but the book is also targeted at administrators of mentoring programs and anyone who teaches or conducts training about mentoring. It is hard to argue with the benefits of mentoring. But it is important to keep in mind that formal and informal mentoring programs within an organization carry the potential to emphasize inequity if such opportunities are not carefully institutionalized so that they are available to all staff.
