When you surpass your mentor…

Soapbox Daily

Mentors can be lifesavers — until they're not anymore. When you outgrow a mentor, surpass them in their skills, or simply establish your own level of sufficiency and independence to function as their equal, breaking up can be hard to do.

The most talented go-getters often find older, wiser mentors to guide them early in the careers. But as more young managers ascend to the executive suite while still in their 20s and 30s, they are finding that they surpass their mentors in terms of pay or chain of command—and might even become their mentor’s boss.

-

If you rise fast enough, then you can accomplish more than your mentor ever dreamed for himself. That creates a delicate situation in which a mentor’s envy and jealousy can overtake his fond feelings for all your success. And you never want a mentor to turn against you.

-

Here’s how to maintain a positive relationship with your mentor despite your meteoric ascent.
