You don’t have to be a natural leader to be a good leader. With some guidance, experience, and maybe a few tips, many of us can lead our teams to success. Havard Business Review offers five resolutions for the aspiring leaders. Here’s just one:
Find a trustworthy mentor: Mentorship is a critical component of your development as a leader. A 2004 study showed that young leaders with mentors were more likely succeed professionally and experience career satisfaction. The essence of effective mentoring is developing a trusting relationship between the mentor and mentee. Identify someone with whom you have a genuine chemistry and who is committed to your development. Although many mentees do not realize it, a sound relationship is a two-way street that benefits both parties—not just the mentee. We suggest looking for mentors whom you admire for their values and character more than their success.
