Leader Magic Steps
Getting from one place to another through mentoring, time management and action.
Mentoring, time management, and action are essential to achieving success.
The foundation of success is mentoring and guiding to achieved desired outcome.
Challenges for Mentors and Mentees
Encourage original ideas
Listen carefully when others advance ideas.
Convince each other that ideas on innovation will be honored and supported.
Trust and Communication
Mentor and Mentees
Placing the magic steps along the path in a manner that will enable crossing the toxic waste to sanctuary on Spirit Island will enable success for the project.
All leaders will be protected as long as they follow rules:
RULES Do not lose body contact with a magic step
while crossing the toxic waste. The magic step will disappear into the toxic
waste and be lost forever as a resource to the group.
Mentees must follow the guidance of their mentor. They are blindfolded and need to trust what
they are being told.
Mentors must provide appropriate guidance and adhere to the (15) minute timeline. The toxic waste explodes and all is lost.
