Mentoring: What Are You Afraid Of?

Kevin Henry, editor of Proofs Magazine was kind enough to publish an article of mine in the November issue entitled "Overcoming The Fear of Mentoring."

Read it online at:

It's not rocket science. Nor is it a threat to the writings Tom Peters or any other management guru. Just my thoughts on why mentoring is important and how rewarding being a mentor has been to me.

IMHO, mentoring is similar to the important relationships we have with our friends, family, spouses and children - you get what you give.

If you have the time to read the article, let me know what you think. Feel free to share your thoughts on what being a mentor means to you or how a mentor has influenced your life and career.
