Facinated by the wisdom and efficacy of the master-apprentice tradition. Many modern pedagogical approaches fail to apply the principles of this learning model to the fullest effect. In the corporate context, coaching (done well) comes close, mentoring (done consummately well) comes closer, but the dominant dynamics in both these models leave out some of the gems of this ancient art of learning, limiting its impact.
Some of the underlying principles in this model include: 1. an indisputability of the master’s credentials as being the real McCoy, and not just a lucky careerist. 2. a suspension of judgment and intellectual analysis on the part of the learner, involving a leap of faith 2. ongoing proximity and independence from structured schedules 3. submission to the master’s instructions – assuming the level of self-annihilation in the highest manifestations of the model 4. reflective spaces and the patience to let insight emerge. Some of the most resonant achievements of the human race – in spirituality, art – have been the products of this transmission model, as it invoves transending the biological limitation of a lifespan, by conveying centuries of perfected wisdom to the recipient in a way that bypasses many stages of evolution.
Notes to Self 
Love these 4 principles. I think that some of these principles are much more pronounced in Professional careers where you are mandated to learn the ropes through multi-year long internships. Like in the Medical profession, Cooking etc. Maybe worthwhile to replicate those in Corporate life too..
