In my opinion it is an obligation of those that know to pass on to those that don't but want to know. I started my engineering apprenticeship in the UK at 16 and we were assigned to an old salt who taught us the ropes - invaluable and confidence inspiring. I'm now a senior exec in a pretty decent size company and I treat it as my duty to take the younger guys under my wing and not only teach them the technical skills but also the subtle social skills on how to manage up and down the organization. How to behave in meetings. When to open you mouth and when to keep it shut. I believe that it is also important to expose the younger guys to different parts of the business to enable them to have an appreciation for the role of others and potentially spark an interest in another area. My goal is to equip the guys with as much knowledge as I can before I retire. Not sure if you recall but I actually connected one of our interns with you as he was interested in composite chassis design.
