How does one inculcate independence?


"I understand that there is a fine line between when you step in to guide and when you expect/want the mentee to figure it out on their own. How would you slowly push them towards the independent side?"

OUR ANSWER:

"Do not work the issue or solve the challenge for them.  Educate and provide a road map so they understand it and evolve the solution  for themselves.

Offer a map with variable shoulders on the road and the flexibility for a  few detours from which recovery can be achieved."

 

Travelers on the road of knowledge en route to wisdom learn best via a vehicle they  drive themselves.  Not all travel at the same speed or take the same  route to a destination.

Here is a success story that I had the privilege to witness from a company that bridged the gap to which your question refers.  Note the link to the astute article they have shared with the small business community at the link below:
