As apposed to trying to obstruct and constrain me, the best bosses I have had were always the ones trying to liberate and empower me, so I’ve always been of the opinion that a really great mentor brings out the best in you and enables you to be your best. David Carter does that.
A leader’s plight often includes loneliness. yes, it is lonely at the top. That loneliness can be close to crippling at times.
Simply having someone you can talk to – someone you trust, someone who is objective, someone who is on your side (not on the others team’s side, and not on their own side, but on your side) – can alleviate a leader’s loneliness. And, as David is keen to point out, a problem shared can be a problem halved.
David does more than just listen. He questions you. He pushes you. He challenges you. He helps you to dig deep for the right answers. He inspires you.
It’s easy for business leaders to relate to David because of his business background. He’s been to business hell and back. David’s experience in business, and experience with business leaders, is an invaluable resource.
Establishing trusting relationships with people is a prerequisite for anyone who strives to thrive. you can trust David.
NO!
Wait!
I retract that last statement for one reason and one reason only – David is a bandit at golf.
