Give to gain: the leadership investment with the highest returns
Mentorship can change the trajectory of another’s career
GIVE to gain – this year’s International Women’s Day theme is far more profound than a campaign slogan.
It is the most honest definition of mentorship I have encountered in over two decades of leading and building organisations and – perhaps most meaningfully – watching people grow into the leaders they did not yet know they could become.
Over the years, what I have learnt, unequivocally, is that the returns on mentorship are not linear. They compound. And the case for giving generously, early and consistently is a strategic one.
