MENTORING

*MENTORING:*
             
 *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.*

 *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.*

 *11. Leadership success is measured by the success of their successors.*

 *12. No matter how great you may have been, if you didn't produce a successor, you are a failure.*

 *13. You preserve what you built through mentorship.*

 *14. Legacy is about preserving all that you've built by raising other people.*

 *15. Success without a successor is failure.*

 *16. Leadership that serves only its generation is destined to failure.*

 *17. If your vision dies with you, you have failed.*

 *18. Legacy is about living beyond your grave.*

 *19. Leadership Is not a sprint but a relay.*

 *20. The most important part of a relay is to successfully pass the baton on, not running.*

 *21. The ultimate measure of true leadership is not to maintain followers but to produce leaders.*

 *22. True leadership measures its success by the diminishing dependency factor of its followers.*

 *26. _Your goal as a leader is to destroy the dependency of the people around you._*

 *34. When you produce someone greater than yourself, don't get jealous.*
