The failure mode our answer warns about has a name: mentor whiplash, where smart people give you opposite advice until you no longer know which way is up. Singh gives a concrete filtering system (a note-taker plus a question-asker, then a team debrief every 2 to 3 days) so conflicting advice gets processed into an action plan instead of quietly pulling you off your one metric.
Mentor whiplash, and working through it
From jag.eu by Jag Singh 6 min read
- Split the room: one person drives the conversation, one takes notes, so you actually retain what 40 mentors said.
- Debrief as a team every 2 to 3 days while it is fresh, and convert advice into an action plan rather than a pile of contradictions.
- Contradictory advice is data, not orders; the job of the batch is building the muscle to filter it and decide for yourself.
