Scenario

When mentoring relationships lose their purpose but continue out of habit

My startup advisor and I have been working together for a year but our communication has become purely transactional and I think we're both just going through the motions of a mentoring relationship that isn't really serving either of us anymore. Neither of us has acknowledged that the dynamic has changed, and I don't know if we should fix it or end it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are maintaining a relationship structure that no longer serves its intended function, each waiting for the other to acknowledge what both can see.
