Do you have a mentor? If no please get one. These are the qualities of a good Mentor. Below is the Sum Total of what Mentoring entails:
1. The Greatest Act of Leadership Is mentoring.
2. If what you learn, achieve, accumulate or accomplish dies with you then you are a generational failure.
3. Mentoring is the manifestation of the highest level of personal maturity, security, and self-confidence.
4. An insecure person will never train people. He will oppress people.
5. Mature people create people greater than themselves.
6. Your assignment has a shelf life.
7. You will die one day; so train your replacement.
8. Your greatest gift to the world is your mentee.
9. True leaders do not seek followers. Followers are attracted to true leaders.
10. The Greatest obligation of true leadership is to transfer your deposit to the next generation.

33. You become great by producing people greater than yourself.
34. When you produce someone greater than yourself, don’t get jealous.
35. When you train your replacement, you are free to expand your work.
