My experience as a leader has been similar to yours in that \u201cI have been blessed to have found an occupation that not only occupies my time but gives me purpose and meaning, and I have a strong desire to share my knowledge and experience\u201d (DIZZYBUTTERFLY, 2018). I have had many opportunities to mentor staff under me, and the authority for this has always come out of a place of emergent leadership rather than assigned leadership. This could be due to the fact that in my context mentorship is often more personal than it is technical in nature.<\/p>\n<p>What you articulated at the end of your blog served as a good reminder for me that my motivation in mentoring relationships should be to model transformational servant leadership, rather than to demonstrate my skills. While I know this it can be easy to get caught up in the desire to prove why I am worth listening to. Thank you for the reminder that the heart of mentorship is to exhibit transformational servant leadership.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>References:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>DIZZYBUTTERFLY.
