What I Got Wrong About Mentorship | Simon Sinek

Mentorship is like friendship: it evolves over time, and it's a two-way street.

+ + +

Simon is an unshakable optimist. He believes in a bright future and our ability to build it together.

Described as “a visionary thinker with a rare intellect,” Simon has devoted his professional life to help advance a vision of the world that does not yet exist; a world in which the vast majority of people wake up every single morning inspired, feel safe wherever they are and end the day fulfilled by the work that they do.

Simon is the author of multiple best-selling books including Start With Why, Leaders Eat Last, Together is Better, and The Infinite Game.

*Mentorship is the best way to shorten your learning curve to be successful*

[marisolmarcelino]

i definitely agree that a mentor is more like a friend. I am so lucky to have one!

[ChicMoviesOnline]

This is great. Mentors are most of the time, life savers.

[jayani]

"Mentor is a friend" just like any other relationship it grows.

[paulEmotionalaudio]

100% agree. It’s always a 2 way street as you always have to be open to learn, whatever direction that may come from.

[TinaLeder]

That's such a good point.
*Mentor to Mentor Relationship*

Mr Sinek, you have such a remarkable and charismatic spirit. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and inspiring me. 🙏

[renatastumberger]

For a lot of us, you are our mentor. You touch our life in every possible way. Thank you.

[marcosteixeira]

Relation is crucial for authentic mentorhip experiences.

[geraldpolmateer]

I have spent 46 mentoring men and learn a lot from them. I think they teach me more than I teach them.

[choosengeneration]

True mentorship is more than friendship yeah coz you share all your great wisdom and lead that person to the right way do all you can to make it happen yeah and yes it will benefit both of u the one who teach as well the one who is learning same thing the monitor also learn from the student coz knowledge is so wide and big we can't reach in all areas yeah .

[phoenixpham]

Thank you, Simon!
I like this sentence, "Be there for each other"

[SirGalaEd]

That all said, and its true....just remember that a mentor unlike a parent does NOT have to care about your feelings. They might, or they might know that something they tell you may be hurtful, because you NEED to hear it. A good mentor will not coddle you, they will be honest. Sometimes, brutally so.

[marieconway]

Akin to love. How sweet.. Ha! You're all gooey underneath. Yes, quite correct though. 😊👍

[VinnyLogz]

I wanna see Simon Sinek & Ryan Holiday do an interview like this, 2hrs!

[eiferdoodle]

I have had that revelation lately. Now that I have experienced working for a great leader instead of a manager, I no longer care about really anything else but wanting to work for/with great leaders, people.

[grantegginton]

This is a great descriptor of what it means to be a mentor.

[entrepreneurpodcasttv]

Great insight, Simon. You're a mentor to a lot more people than you realize 👍

[stevenkoehler]

Excellent. Simon Sinek always has so much good to express.

[kanchanchhangwani]

I am looking for love . That’s great line I wish I could have use same lines in my interviews
