If you want to become a People Development leader, you must give others your trust and earn their trust in return.

Doing work yourself if always faster and easier than developing other people to do it. But that’s short-term thinking!

Helping another person to become a competent leader almost always takes longer than you think and is more difficult than you expect.

Only leaders can develop other people to become leaders.

You can’t develop people without potential – no matter how hard you work at it.

If you go into a mentoring relationship expecting to change a person’s character you’re liable to be disappointment.

If the only thing you’re helping a new leader learn is how to get ahead in the workplace, you’re not truly developing that person to succeed, because there’s a lot more to life than work and career.

It’s difficult for someone to make the most of their leadership potential when the rest of their life is a wreck.

…empowerment [is] helping people to see what they can do without your help, and releasing them to do it.

As you release tasks to the leaders you’re developing, you need to trust them, believe in them, and hold them accountable.
