Mentoring and the Analogy of Training a Pilot

• Be a mentor
• Make people development your top priority
• Limit who you take along
• Develop relationships before starting out
• Give help unconditionally - make them fly
• Let them fly with you for a while - a pilot never works alone (On the Job Training)
• Put fuel in their tank - resourcing
• Stay with them until they can solo successfully 
• Clear the flight path
• Help them repeat the process - no success without a successor. There's no generation if there are no generators
• Lift others higher
