Creative Leadership
Who’s Your Mentor?

Did you have a mentor? Are you mentoring someone else? More and more research is showing that mentorship matters – particularly in a work environment where change is happening at light speed. In his new book “The Leadership Style of Jesus,” Dr. Michael Youssef reports these fascinating statistics:
75% of executives list mentoring as a key factor in their career success.
Executive productivity increased 88% when mentoring was involved.
71% of Fortune 500 companies list mentoring as a training tool.
77% of businesses say mentoring programs increase employee retention.
The question are:
Who is mentoring you?
Who are you mentoring?
Maybe that’s a big reason you’re stuck in your career.
Great article Phil! I’ve been feeling the need to have a mentor for awhile, and this is affirmation!
I mentor 3 young people. They are ages 12, 10 and 6 – and all my children.
…actually I do also have a business mentor who has been invaluable in not only my career but my personal life too.
Something I wish more pastors would do with younger leaders.
I mentor a young woman, but I really need a mentor myself… I don’t believe we can reach our total potential without the help of others. I’m stuck… So how does one go about finding a mentor? I’ve heard you shouldn’t ask someone, it’s inappropriate. True or false?
Does anyone take this guy seriously?
He has no experience in Hollywood but masks himself as a producer. What a low life sorry person!
Go visit him in Burbank, he operates out of a low life building and can’t pay his employees.
