I found an old company newsletter from my first management job in 1987. I pressed the managers to find more dollars, and the pushback was clear – there wasn’t much more they could do, so they stood firm. Now, as I sat at my desk in NY with that Newsletter in front of me, I found my first clue. The Value Of The Teacher.

One never forgets their first mentor. That first great mentor sticks with you always. Cactus was 34 at the time that he began mentoring me. From that mentoring, I fell in love with the non-profit culture, the organizations and the client bases affected by them. Mine was legendary humorist and media figure Cactus Pryor.

Get a Coach or Mentor(s). Some managers have blind spots of being over-controlling and others don’t interact enough with the people they are responsible for leading. The need for coaching and mentoring goes beyond needing to address our blind spots. You should seek to serve others in these ways, too.
