- Turning good Managers into Great Mentors -


“The organisations that will succeed in the future
are those that take seriously, the belief that their
competitive advantage
is based on the
development and growth of the people in them.


The successful leader will have, not the loudest voice,
but the readiest ear and his or her genius may well lie,
not in personal achievement, but in unleashing
the potential talent of others


Warren Bennis – “Leaders on Leadership”
