When businesses plan to mentor rather than simply replace, they can set the building blocks for better long-term success—for the companies and for the people who lead them.

Instead, he had me train under the interim CEO of the construction company he worked so hard to build. He believed it was his and other high-level executives’ responsibility to coach aspiring leaders, and it was my duty to earn my leadership position.
