mentoring and coaching Quotes

Great leadership is by definition relentlessly developmental.

Good leaders understand that they are stewards. They must find the best people they can, giving them the opportunity to join in the journey developing them, and encouraging them to reach their potential. But they must hold on to people lightly. Those who start with you seldom finish with you.

The most important job you have is growing your people, giving them a chance to reach their dreams.

Leadership is like parenting.

Leadership is all about unlocking the potential in others.

The bottomline in leadership isn't how far we advance ourselves but how far we advance others.

If you want to make a difference in the lives of the people you lead, you must be willing to walk alongside them, to lift and encourage them, to share moments of understanding with them, and to spend time with them, not just shout down at them from on high.

Effective leaders are, first and foremost, good teachers. We're in the education business.
