"Mentoring" seems to have become a lost leadership component, it's value a victim to apathy, complacency, the busyness of life, and economics (why invest in "mentoring" when you can buy what/who you need?). I don't know about you, but I always learn something new when I mentor someone. It's a mutually beneficial experience (I suspect Lou learned a thing or two from you!). My fear is that sans "mentoring", we lose great opportunities for innovation, new perspectives, continuity, and deep-seeded relationships. I'll be bold and make the suggestion. Look both ways. Who's mentoring you - who are you mentoring? Oh, btw - "mentoring" is biblical... Well said, my friend. “Mentoring” seems to have become a lost leadership component, it’s value a victim to apathy, complacency, the busyness of life, and economics (why invest in “mentoring” when you can buy what/who you need?).

I’ll be bold and make the suggestion. Look both ways. Who’s mentoring you – who are you mentoring?

Oh, btw – “mentoring” is biblical…
