This chapter presents about success and factors leading to success, cultivating nurse’s potential and talent through Mentor Intelligence, how to be a “perfect” protégé, the difference between mentoring and “tormenting” behaviors, and about mentoring cultures: “places of realized potential”. Becoming a successful nurse, athlete, lawyer, musician, chef, or entrepreneur- the success factors are the same: a hodgepodge of individual, collective, and environmental forces. Like success, talent develops as a combination of many personal, interpersonal, and external factors. Nurses can raise their Mentor Intelligence by activating their mentoring mentality, mentoring lens, and mentoring momentum. Nurses work in highly bureaucratic systems in which they may feel disrespected, unsupported, and powerless- leading to angry and oppressive behaviors toward colleagues. The Joint Commission states that “intimidating and disruptive behaviors” can foster medical errors, contribute to poor patient satisfaction and preventable adverse outcomes, increase the cost of care, and cause employees to leave the organization.
