        <description><![CDATA[This article is curious to me, because Ive never seen Mr. Liss &quot;mentor&quot; anyone and Ive worked for him for almost 7 years.  His managers care only about pleasing the partners of the firm, and seem to care very little about their employees under them.  Liss has very little interaction with most of his employees. The managers under him are borderline worthless.  Makes no sense.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Many people do not have the ability to have an internal mentor.  In some companies, IT might be under administration and they are left on their own in most cases.  The highest position being IT Manager.  The VP might be HR or Accounting/Finance and they are saying, &quot;that technical stuff&quot; or see this team as a Support role.  Where can IT Managers GO?  Who can they seek out.  CIO Magazine tried to develop a MENTORING program years back and not one particiapted.  I tried to sign up, but got an email 6 months later that the program was stopping, no interest.It is nice to talk about this, but many do not know where or who to turn to if the company is not offering it to them.Thanks]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[&quot;Guide&quot; is the keyword here. Bosses can (in my experience) very well be mentors, if they are not so concerned about &quot;managing&quot; but about &quot;leading&quot;, and if you are humble and smart enough to stop listening to your own brilliant ideas and learn, not only from what your mentor says, but from what he/she does. In my case, I had reasonable technical skills, but was totally blind about political and strategical issues of &quot;IT managing&quot;. And, as you can guess, this can make a real difference in what you can achieve and most important, how you do feel from 9 am to 5 pm.]]></description>
