We Need Leaders: by Warren Bennis

"Great things can happen when talented people work together with a supportive leader/mentor who seeks to unleash their talents. The term mentor doesn’t do justice to what a great one does—the generosity a mentor shows. Beyond sharing his or her wisdom, the mentor allows the protégé to share in his or her achievement, an extraordinary gift. Moreover, the mentor puts his or her reputation on the line with every good word dropped to people in power; in that sense, mentoring is a pure act of faith. You put yourself at risk, having no real control over how anyone else performs. When I look back, I’m stunned by the faith that my mentors had in me, so much more faith than I had in myself. I had to grow and become the person they vouched for again and again."
