I recently finished reading Tony Dungy’s book, The Mentor Leader: Secrets to Building People and Teams That Win Consistently. It gave me new insight on what it means to be a Mentor Leader and how to effectively go about influencing lives for the greater good.
Tony defines Mentor leaders as individuals that seek to have a direct, intentional, and positive impact on those they lead. He went on to say that “At its core, mentoring is about building character into the lives of others, modeling and teaching attitudes and behaviors, and creating a constructive legacy to be passed along to future generations of leaders.”
