Abstract

Delve into the life of a leader a bit, and you’ll probably find someone who has had one or more mentors – and who naturally went on to mentor others. Mentors are, in my view, absolutely essential to a person’s professional development. Having an impartial somebody to talk to about how best to approach challenges on the job or what’s the next step in a career can be invaluable for both young up-and-comers and mature executives alike.
