Mentoring 'to the max'
When you groom mentees, do it with the aim that they will go one better than the mentor. It's the ethical thing to do.

MENTORING is in vogue in corporate circles and beyond. Rare is the leader who does not engage in it. But I ask: Are you mentoring to the max?
To me, a true mentor must want his or her "mentees" to become not merely worthy colleagues, or just superb cogs in one's own business machinery.
I want my mentees to outperform me. Outshine me, please do. One day to unseat me, if I do not continually up my leadership game.
