Bad mentors can use you and keep you down for their own gain. But eventually, it will backfire.
Nice talk pa....I've been through the full classification of being unmentored, tormentored, dismentored but also positively mentored...very insightful
Yes Medical field is full of such lost people,
Poor mentorship is Endemic in our field.🧘♂️🧠
Some mentors r narc on drugs, very toxic I have across some, very difficult, bring u down, never see any good, talk to u in front of others, happy when u struggle to teach or manage the class behaviour: very toxic
Yeah humiliating, negative feedback...
He is the father of famous stand up comedian Dr. Jagdish Chaturvedi👏🏽
Hats off to you Sir for voicing it out. You conveyed it across very well
Everyone in the audience must be looking at each other with blaming eyes on their "mentors"
Unmentor the mentor now
Good quality talk...rare to see good quality TedX talks these days when anyone can speak in one of those
you are the "maha-mentor" for many of us, sir.
Sir, it was an excellent presentation and a relevant topic. I got both mentors in my life.
I think it will help mentors to facilitate insights about what they do and how can they do it better. So nice to listen to professor Skc in his own trademark style of doing it.😍
I liked the calm tempo of the talk
Excellent talk. My experience of you as a mentor over the last 25 years has been great. The humor remains and is enjoyable, more so when there is a tinge of gentle sarcasm!!!!
splendid thaughts on unmentoring😀
I have been dismentored
Reading the book initially was fun & interesting & it became even better when actually heard you here talking in your typical style! Excellent analysis especially through the mythological framework!
Excellent talk. Good mentoring not from mentor from life. inspiring!!!
This is such a fresh perspective on mentoring. Thanks for this talk sir
Who here thought of Harry Potter on hearing dismentor
Excellent talk on mentorship!!
Much needed...very insightful..
Interesting and Insightful
Wow! This can be a chapter in a book 👍
Great idea

It looks like more of negative to mentors. I believe it is a two way process. Even if there is something called unmentor under the umbrella of an institution where they are accountable for progress of a child, how do they unmentor. I am surprised that a professor of your repute is talking this. Probably the quality of students need a consideration. The education is degrading as it is more commercialized. Very few students work, the institutions usually charge high. As an example students demand marks without attending classes.
Taking of PhD, it is absolutely diluted. How do you define a mentee and mentor. Plus I belive you should do more of research on talking negative to a most respectable section of society. It is very sad to hear something like this from a senior professor.
Ted x is a plaform where people put the facts and not one sided opinion. I don't know how far your students have reached in their life. 👍
Thank you for your comments; really appreciate that you shared your viewpoint. Mentors are mentors, some use positive methods or reinforcements and some use negative reinforcements [behavioural principles], some use both. Everything has a teaching effect! As mentioned in the talk, even I used negative methods at times, but the goal was to have a positive growth. I agree with your views on current education system and negative mentoring is unacceptable.
You nailed it sir! All mentors and mentees should see this.
