Reflecting on Great Mentorship Insights

PERHAPS it was last year's long, cold winter ... or maybe it was 'our summer that wasn't'... I'm not really sure.

Regardless, for whatever reason, I found my thoughts drifting toward the beautiful Hawaiian Islands. It was a few years ago since we were last there, but I fondly recall the wonderful conversation we had with Glenn Furuya, President & CEO at Leadership Works, LLC

Glenn provided us with some of the great comments with respect to Mentorship. We've tried to capture a couple of them that you'll find further below. And we'd also invite you to view one of the short video clips on our YouTube Channel where Glenn shared these insights with us during our visit. I think you'll find that they also ring-true with you. A link is provided at the end of this post.

Here are some key points from Glenn's comments:

  1) The role of a leader is to set people up to succeed.
  2) Give Mentees confidence, support, education and advice.
  3) Mentors help to nurture the gifts and talents within the Mentee.
  4) Encourage Mentees to spread their wings and give things a try.
  5) Help Mentees grow - let them build, expand and develop, and then share with others.
  6) To be successful, Mentorship should be a systemic process of continuity and regularity. 

  7) Leadership requires a frequency of contact and become, "a habitual ritual".
