		<description><![CDATA[The old aphorism, “You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink,” is the foundation of the second rule of mentoring. Many a mentor has fallen into the subtle trap of driving the mentoring process, only to reach a point of disappointment and frustration when the protégé’s energy and enthusiasm begins [...]]]></description>

When during the last few months did you take time to think about the following: What can I do to better motivate my team? How can I challenge them to keep them at their peak?

		<description><![CDATA[A recent Harvard Business Review blog post offered the idea of developing your talent by having them work on your most boring processes. The thinking behind this proposition is that these mundane processes never get much scrutiny because they are boring, and that there are significant efficiencies to be gained by improving them. While the ideas are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The St. Louis Post-Dispatch had a nice article on mentoring in a recent issue. In it, I&#8217;m quoted at saying that mentoring &#8220;shrinks the big organizations.&#8221; This quote means that a mentoring program has the power to cross boundaries within organizations, creating connections across silos and building the organization&#8217;s social capital. When links across functions [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Rik Nemanick, Ph.D. One of the things that separates mentoring from coaching is the time scale in which the two operate. Coaching tends to be focused on the here and now, closing immediate gaps and accomplishing short term goals. Mentoring is focused on the long term, the protégé’s journey that may last years.

		<description><![CDATA[by Rik Nemanick, Ph.D. It has been eleven years since I started working on my first mentoring program at Anheuser-Busch.
