The Mentors Dilemma

The mentors dilemma highlights the challenge for leaders to balance criticism and motivation in order to help individuals grow. Leaders struggle between maintaining high standards through criticism, which may crush motivation, or withholding criticism to be supportive, hindering growth. The dilemma is to either be seen as an autocratic dictator or a pushover, both with negative connotations.

This leadership approach fosters a growth mindset by conveying belief in individuals' potential for growth and pushing them to achieve higher standards.
