Mentoring

I remember in my High School days a leadership event that harkened back to the 1970's for a process to multiply leaders. It was:

I do

I do, you watch

You do, I watch

You do

The problem is, it doesn't capture active participation from both parties and it doesn't reproduce itself.

When I attended THE NINES, here is a modification of that process that answers both limitations:

I do, you watch

I do, you help

You do, I help

You do, I cheer you on

You do and someone else watches

Wash, rinse, repeat.

Is this more effective? How have you seen this in action (or not)?
