"The delicate balance of mentoring someone is not creating them in your own image, but giving them the opportunity to create themselves."
- Steven Spielberg
I recently attended a black-tie event with a much younger colleague. She wore a beautiful -- and very appropriate -- dress. This young woman shared that early on in her career, she had mentioned to her boss that she was not sure that she was dressing appropriately at the office. So the boss took her shopping one afternoon and helped her find clothes that suited her. This young woman said that it was an incredible experience that she still greatly appreciates.
