#AfricanLivesMatter A young attorney asked me to mentor him. I sent him 10 books on politics, economics , business leadership & history and asked him to read before our first tele-conversation in the next three weeks . He was offended. Years later he asked why ?
#AfricanLivesMatter Here are the three reasons why :
1. Avoid founding any relationship with any leadership in an ideological ðical vacuum.
2. Know what you share in common with your mentor beyond clichés & superficial impressions
3. To go beyond your mentor, read beyond him

#AfricanLivesMatter To be mentored is not an opportunity to show off your brilliance or to be affirmed by someone else. You don& #39;t know what you don& #39;t know until you observe those that know doing what they know to do . They will be time to shine but observe strengths&weaknesses
#AfricanLivesMatter In most of our countries we have leaders that:-
1. Grew like weeds . No prior experience of working any organisation or working with systems
2. No training or equipping in the art & skill of leading human beings
3. No applied knowledge of systems thinking

#AfricanLivesMatter It is alright to think outside the box , but you must know what the boxes are so that you avoid in your supposed "disruptive thinking" creating boxes made of Iron and steel ! Self-educate , get a coach or mentor . Put in place a system of personal growth
#AfricanLivesMatter I have been around long enough to know brilliant Professors,professionals,artists, preachers,business folks,activists that have not grown.They do the same things,use the same examples,make the same arguments. It& #39;s not consistency It& #39;s stagnation going to death
