One of the things we’ve noticed while mentoring is that some people suddenly\u00a0take off like a rocket<\/em> – they accept responsibility for more than they previously took on, and then they\u00a0seek out\u00a0more<\/em>. They also handle this increase in responsibility very well, and they impress people who previously were at best neutral – along with people who were previously disappointed.<\/p>\n

We’ve seen it happen, and we’ve been trying to figure out how to describe what the pieces are, because if\u00a0a cool thing happens, you should explain how to reproduce it.<\/p>\n

So, we began to think of it in terms of\u00a0the process, the ingredients, <\/em>and the result.<\/em><\/p>\n

If\u00a0a cool thing happens, you should try to figure out how to reproduce it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

The Process<\/h2>\n

There are two versions of what happens:<\/p>\n

Struggling<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. An employee is struggling with their job.<\/li>\n
  2. Someone they respect has a real, honest conversation with them. “You have the capability to be more than this. I love you. Believe in yourself, and go surprise yourself.<\/em>“<\/li>\n
  3. The person decides to trust both the person having the conversation with them\u00a0and themselves <\/strong>enough to try, and they go out and do amazing, unexpected things.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Instinct of Potential<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. An employee is good. Maybe even really good<\/em>. Someone with previous experience with awesome permission becomes aware of them.<\/li>\n
    2. The person with awesome permission experience…extends awesome permission. “You are actually\u00a0awesome<\/em>. Did you know that? You should unleash that some more.”<\/li>\n
    3. The person decides to trust both the person having the conversation with them\u00a0and themselves <\/strong>enough to try, and they go out and do amazing, unexpected things.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      So really…<\/h3>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      There’s only one process. TADA!<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n
          \n
        1. Person A (giver of awesome permission) becomes aware of Person B (in need of awesome permission).<\/li>\n
        2. Person A extends awesome permission to Person B. (note how honest “get your act together” conversations are actually awesome permission?)<\/em><\/li>\n
        3. Person B decides to trust Person A\u00a0and themselves<\/em> enough to try, and they go out and do amazing, unexpected things.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Ingredients<\/h2>\n

          Probably you can spot these in the process, but the list is something like this:<\/p>\n
