I had a manager and mentor who was a fan of me. It felt amazing having someone who is actually rooting for you. Him cheering me on and giving me constructive feedback and building me up in a way no one did before that has fundamentally changed my professional and private personality, hopefully in a good way.
I had too, and it was the only reason I was with that company.
This sort of situation doesn't occur often, at least in my experience, but is so good when it does.
Always be a mentor as if your own life and community depend on it.
Because they do.
