LEARN IT

• As a leader, you will never get ahead until your people are behind you. When I look back at all the people who have helped me along over the years, I realize they fall into two main groups: mentors and supporters.

Interesting Thoughts About Mentors

• Some helped me who never knew me – books others have written; information others have written about them; and their ideas.
• Some who knew me never knew they helped me – those who have modeled principles of leadership.
• Some knew me and knew they helped me – those people were intentional in their assistance.

LIVE IT

• My dreams are always bigger than myself. I can either give up or get help
• People appreciate working for someone who appreciate them
• What is your response to each person that has played a role in making you a better leader?
