In this episode of The Language of Leadership Podcast, host Chuck Marting explores the critical role mentors play in a leader's journey.
Highlighting the importance of surrounding oneself with the right people, Chuck discusses the 'average of five' principle — the idea that you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Through real-life stories and practical advice, Chuck explains how to identify and build a circle of mentors, including visionaries, truth tellers, encouragers, doers, and givers, to become a 'million dollar leader.'
He emphasizes the value of unconventional mentors, such as colleagues, family members, and even younger professionals, and offers actionable steps to nurture these mentorship relationships for lasting impact.
