Biggest Obstacle to Mentor/Coach Effectiveness:

The Tyranny of  Talent;  Experience; &  Knowledge.

Leads to Being short-tempered & critical of new people

         Cynical - "ya can't find good people anymore!"

         Resentment    toward  others who are deemed to be "dumb."


Usually seen in people who are task-specific unconsciously competent (they’re really good at their job or profession) – they think everyone should know what they know.
They have forgotten how they got here.

Result:
     People turn off, then disenage.
     The best talent leaves.
     The least talented stay.

No evidence will ever convince me
Of the truth that I
Don’t want to see, or accept.

If I want to improve
I must be willing
To open my doors
Of perception.
