- Mutual benefit. Every great relationship will be good for both people. It is never one - sided.
- Unforced relationship. Allow the mentoring relationship to develop naturally. Don't try to force someone into this.
- Ask the right questions at the right time. Don't overwhelm this person to the point they want to avoid you. Be sensitive to the right opportunities to learn. Most of the time, you'll learn more by observing them.
