1. The Greatest Act of Leadership Is mentoring.
2. If what you learn, achieve, accumulate or accomplish dies with you then you are a generational failure.
*3. Mentoring is the manifestation of the highest level of personal maturity, security and self confidence.*
*4. An insecure person will never train people. He will oppress people.
*5. Mature people create people greater than themselves.*
*6. Your assignment has a shelf life.*
*7. You will die one day; so train your replacement.*
*8. Your greatest gift to the world is your mentee.*
*9. True leaders do not seek followers. Followers are attracted to true leaders.*
*10. The Greatest obligation of true leadership is to transfer your deposit to the next generation.*
*11. Leadership success is measured by the success of their successors.*
*12. No matter how great you may have been, if you didn’t produce a successor, you are a failure.*
*13. You preserve what you built through mentorship.*
*14. Legacy is about preserving all that you’ve built by raising other people.*
*15. Success without a successor is failure.*
*16. Leadership that serves only its generation is destined to failure.*
*17. If your vision dies with you, you have failed.*
*18. Legacy is about living beyond your grave.*
*19. Leadership Is not a sprint but a relay.*
*20. The most important part of a relay is to successfully pass the baton on, not running.*
*21. The ultimate measure of true leadership is not to maintain followers but to produce leaders.*
*22. True leadership measures its success by the diminishing dependency factor of its followers.*
*23. The ultimate measure of leadership is the ability to delegate tasks but not responsibilities.*
*24. True leadership makes itself increasingly unnecessary.*
25. *You are a successful leader when your followers can lead others.*
*26. _Your goal as a leader is to destroy the dependency of the people around you._*
*27. You are a great leader when your people don’t need you.*
*28. Make people greater than you and you will live forever.*
*29. True leaders do not seek power; they rather seek to empower others.*
*30. Never confuse your position with your value.*
*31. The ultimate goal of true leadership is not to maintain followers but to produce leaders.*
*32. The first act of a true leader is identifying your replacement and you begin to mentor them.*
*33. You become great by producing people greater than yourself.*
*34. When you produce someone greater than yourself, don’t get jealous.*
*35. When you train your replacement, you are free to expand your work.*
*36. When you mentor people, your legacy will make your tombstone unnecessary.*
*THEREFORE, CHOOSE TO MENTOR!*
