Episode 1- Harry Potter and Mentorship

During this, the inaugural episode of I'm Only Human, Ami and Patrick deconstruct the role that Dumbledore plays in protecting and supporting Harry Potter.   We hate to point it out, but the supposedly fatherly figure of Dumbledore from Harry Potter may not be the cuddly patriarch we imagined him to be. Endangering the lives of his students, lying to his supporters, manipulating those in his employ, and acting with absolute and selfish impunity are not exactly the marks of a great leader and certainly not a great mentor. However, there are lots of lessons that we can learn from Dumbledore's failures as a mentor about how you can support, develop, and teach young members of your workforce through an effective mentorship program.
