Leadership is Mentoring

It is teaching and counseling. To bring up a new leader, to multiply himself. In a regular process of management, leaders command and delegate task to be done, because leader can't accommodate all the needed task. To qualify to the requirements needed, a leader need to orient, guide, tell, and participate. He must show the process of getting things done the way the leader wants it.

The relationship of mentor and follower should be improved. The leader as a mentor should show to the follower the need and important of acquiring the knowledge that must be transferred, that the knowledge is not
only the present but it is also essential for his future if he will achieve a management position. Establishing a rapport to follower is not easy, but once it is establish and the follower is become confident in performing his task, the burden of leader will be lighten and lessen. If the leader leave or resign, there will be no problem for transition and continue of process. But there are only few leader who are doing this, because the art of relating with people is not easy.
