Tips and Tricks - Mentoring without the Mentor

In business today, because of the technologies that carry all the information from one point of the Globe to another in matter of seconds, it is usual to search for Tips and Tricks. If you want to do something, at a certain point, you'll use a tip from someone to do your job faster, better, more efficient.

If there's something really funny about business, it's this chapter of tips and tricks. Who gives them? With what purpose? It is really doable? Is there another one better than this? Don't get me wrong! I love tips and tricks. They are a fast way to connect with experience and expertise in a mentoring methodology. They are a vital way of sharing the best practices of professionals from everywhere at the speed of light.

And all of this should work just fine, if only the proper context is set. A business question should always have an answer, and it better be a complete and fast one. When presented in Mentoring process, tips and tricks follow this requirement (the right context), but when used as a list of tips and tricks as in blogs (this one is not an exception), journals and their kind of mass media channels, there should be a perfect approach of subjects, contexts and beneficiary of this one. There's no problem with the kind of people just reading the news, and there it is a tips and tricks column. There could be a problem with some other people that try to use this useful information in not so proper manner or context. In that situation, there is no one to supervise and adjust the process, but the results, and if the results are bad, that's the problem.

So, tips and tricks are good. It's just the understanding of how to use them should be perfect, not just good.
