A great example of this would be carving out time in your already too busy schedule to mentor someone in your organization with great potential. Clearly this endeavor will take time, and may not yield immediate results, but the payoff organizationally, relationally, culturally, and in terms of future contribution can be huge.

Ultimately the best way to insure your staff has influence is to model the correct behaviors and to make sure that you mentor them in said behaviors as well. That said, it will be how they choose to handle themselves, and how they treat others that will ultimately determine the amount of influence they have. Thanks for stopping by David.

With good mentoring, that new leader will be effective. Someone just getting started as a leader is not a proven leader and as a result is more of an unknown quantity — but that does not mean that they are automatically an ineffective leader.

There is certainly no better example of leadership than Jesus – He is the one example that you can turn to for a model of how to lead, mentor, disciple, manage, build relationships, forgive, deal with conflict and betrayal, etc. Actually it is I who is not on the same level as you and my other pastoral friends.

This is a skill I believe many leaders do not develop until later in their careers. If the point of departure is truly causing organizational/performance disruption, and it is not your issue, then you must either coach/mentor that person through the challenge or get rid of them. I know I am still working on it. Thank you for sharing.

If your mentoring and training programs don’t focus on the development of action oriented leaders then you are simply breeding obselesence, and utlimately…failure. A critical part of the talent management life-cycle is leadership development. When an organization stops learning they begin dying.

An executive team that actually embraces the concept of collaboration will substantially out perform a silo-centric executive team focused on empire building.
